Some folks make relatively easy decisions much tougher than they have to be.Paper or plastic?
Medium or large?
For Tom Glavine, the decision he was forced to make more than 20 years ago was truly gut-wrenching. As it turns out, the future Hall of Fame pitcher also is a pretty good hockey player. So good, in fact, that he was drafted in the fourth round of the 1984 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings (http://kings.nhl.com/).
“I think about it quite a bit,” said Glavine, who is returning to the Atlanta Braves in 2008 after spending the past five seasons with the New York Mets. “Before, I think it was whenever I would go to a (hockey) game. You’d watch the game and you’d see what was going on, and you kind of try to evaluate what I would have done or how I would have matured and whether or not I would have made it. I think now with my kids playing, me getting on the ice a little bit more, I kind of wonder a little bit more what would have happened, but I certainly don’t have any regrets or second thoughts about my decision. I think I made the right one. But I miss playing the game, and I’ll always wonder what would have happened.”
