Our former center fielder has been out of the game for a while, but he”s a distiguished Penn grad and has scored a column at the Times.  Here’s a link to his latest.

I like the column and the sentiment, especially the bit about Mom, but the Matrix anology is a disaster.  Sorry, Doug.  In the Matrix, Neo takes the hard way and suffers for the chance to save the rest of us.  In his baseball career, Glanville took the hard way by no going on the junk.  A fabulous world of supermodels and riches was kept away from him, but it’s not like he continued on as a drone attached to a malevolent machine that sought to manipulate and control him.  Good article, bad analogy.
