Best of luck to Matt Marksberry. Super nice guy and I hope he has a long career.

Losing passion for your career at 22 is really young,. Regardless – Good luck, Denson. .

It may me young, but think of all the years of playing highly competitive ball, with crazy parents, everyone telling you that you’re the best, etc….at some point, you gotta reflect on where you came from, see where you may/may not be going and make a decision. He did. He got to a point where most of us never have and it did not work out. Time to find his next challenge in life. Wish we all had that opportunity at 22 to start over.

Yeah I suppose, that would be like heading to the cubicle at 7 years old. I would be sick of the that cubicle by 22 too.

Not to mention that minor leaguers really don’t get paid much of anything. That’s one reason why the attrition rate in the low minors tends to be so high.

Much respect and best of luck to David Denson. It sounds like his teammates and opposing players were nothing but respectful and accepting of him and that’s important for the next baseball player to come out openly. It’s quite a contrast to the Billy Bean situation in the ’80s, although he didn’t come out until after his career was over. But many of his teammates and opponents and managers knew and he was treated quite poorly by many of them. It’s progress.
Hopefully in the next few years a major leaguer will be willing to come out because of guys like Denson. Progress.

Definitely, great to see. Good luck to him in the future.
