1988 Topps #196 Dave Engle

A Major League Baseball veteran isn't usually the type to sit around and lament the summation of life choices that led oneself to one's current state, but not all baseball players are Dave Engle.  Baseball's sad sacks are few and far between.  

 

Is it the road, Dave?

The lack of home cooking?

 

Dudes who make an MLB All-Star team don't often have a ton of regrets.

Take some time and sort it all out, buddy.  We'll be here for you when you're ready.

They didn't have "mindfulness" in the 1980s, so maybe Dave was onto something.

 

Sittin'.

Starin'.
