04/08: "Make them rip the uniform off you."
Tigers reliever Todd Jones has an article at Yahoo! Sports talking about why most players have trouble saying goodbye. He relates it to Bernie.
Bernie is a true pro. Look at what he did this offseason: signed a one-year deal, welcomed his replacement in center field and became the most decorated fourth outfielder in the game. He's quiet, professional, just doing his best. That's the stuff guys who get their numbers retired in Monument Park do. So was his mistake getting older. He sure ain't playing for the money now.
It's a short article, worth a quick read.
