Dear “Chipper”,
Congratulations on a successful major league career.
You will get no video montage from me. You will get no standing ovation.
I will treat you with the same respect I treat my opponents when I play beach volleyball. When someone makes a good play I say “good play dude.” At the end of the game I shake his hand and say “good game.”
I try to beat him, he tries to beat me.
I do not think of him when I go home. I do not care if he ever shows up on the courts again.
I’m focused on me and my team. I’m getting older and every time I look around I see that everyone else seems younger.
Yet I play, and I hope the dude on the other side of the court loses every game every time.
I wish you a weekend of losses Chipper.
You will get no video montage from me.
“Shark”
