Deplorable.
Thought I'd share this interesting story that appeared on my Twitter feed. It's about a kid named Chris Martin who is now a relief pitcher with the Colorado Rockies.

Before making it to the majors, his career dead-ended in JUCO and he was forced to go get a real job. Amongst them was "delivering packages at night for UPS".

My best guess was that he was a PM Air Driver or something like that.

The only other MLB player that I know of that worked for UPS was Gino Cimoli who worked at the company after retirement and drove 21 years accident free.
