I don't disagree. But still...
I'm 20 years older than my favorite player. And I could still run the bases without going on the DL.
Not to mention the fact that I don't have a guaranteed 8 figure salary this year.
PF hurts like hell. It's not the kind of annoying, aching pain that you can ignore. You take a step and your body defends itself from the pain. You can wince through it after the first step, but that first step... you don't will yourself through it. The only answer for PF is prolonged rest.
You might be able to trot your old, decrepit self around the bases, but even broken down Zim would be at 2nd before you got to first. You're giving yourself way, way too much credit.
