Sometimes on Twitter I make reference to my brain injury, but it occurs to me that I’ve never told the whole story. And until everyone – EVERYONE – takes concussions more seriously, people like me need to be more vocal. So here’s the story of how concussions broke me, but also how I got to …

Though lots of people had nice things to say about last night’s post, two Minor League Baseball employees brought up some really valid concerns and counterpoints.

Somewhere in Major League Baseball, there has to be a smart owner who will quit ignoring the next great, and cheap, competitive advantage.
