Are you one of those folks that enviously, but religiously, watches MTV cribs to gawk at the posh lifestyle of Alex Rodriguez and the like?  Or are you the type that throws random household objects across the room every time a superstar like Terrell Owens has a salary dispute?  Or worse, have you grown indifferent to professional sports altogether?

Unfortunately many of those involved in professional sports these days are most often concerned about making the quick and easy buck.  With the implementation of free agency, sports agents have even today's second-rate players yelling, “Show me the money!”  On top of that, most sportswriters and TV anchors continue to publicize only the most lurid of personalities and gaudy of highlights, creating a culture of mere highlights and sound bites. 

The times are truly a changing, as three-year players now seem like veterans, ten million dollar salaries now seem economical, and tackles ten yards down field now seem to call for a celebration dance.  But for every story that parades big-headed superstars, there is one screaming of modesty and hard work—it probably just never left the cutting room floor.

Here at the Rochester Honkers, we appreciate the sort of players that prove this conventional wisdom wrong—the ones who play for the love of the game.  Since 1994, our players have inspired us with their fine play both on and off Mayo Field.  That is why we are featuring stories on former Honker greats and what kind of lives they are currently leading.   Some are playing baseball professionally while others have gone pro in something other than sports, but all of them are stand-up men who stand for something more than money.

You might be the person who asks, "Where’s the hard work, the grit, the blood, sweat and tears?"  Well, it’s still out there—we find that you just have to look a little closer.
