Recent Signee Done....

Earlier this spring as the Cubs were looking around for a backup third baseman they saw Corey Koskie sitting on the sidelines. He has suffered from a severe concussion since 2006 when he lost his balance and slipped while chasing a fly ball for the Brewers. The weird part of the story is that he never hit his head on the ground like you would think. His head jerked so violently that his brain sort of rattled in his head. Since that play Koskie was out of baseball trying to recover from the injury. This was supposedly his first concussion. Anyways, the Cubs thought they would give him a chance at playing, signing him to a minor league contract. He got his first start over the weekend and turned in his jersey saturday night. He just felt that he could not go through another injury like he had been through. What really hit home to him was his son recevied his first concussion earlier in the week while playing football with his brother. Corey stated that he still loves the game but wants to lead a normal life more. This may end up not hurting the Cubs at all this season. I got to give it to Corey for being able to give up the money and glory for his family and his own well being.
