It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word.

I'm a Major League 3rd Baseman. If you want to go play in parking lot, I'm suppose to stop the ball.

Whether you want to or not, you do serve as a role model. People will always put more faith in baseball players than anyone else.
