At one point or another, all professional baseball players reach the moment when the game no longer needs them, and they're asked not to put back on a uniform and play for a club. But then comes the next big question as they enter the next phase of their lives: "What now?"
That is a question Major League Baseball Alumni Association chief operating officer Geoff Hixson is trying to help answer by providing career seminars to recently retired players to help them find new direction after they've "lost their identity as a ballplayer," according to Hixson.
"We had hiring managers come in and give these guys an idea of the outside world and how that transition could maybe use their strengths from the game of baseball onto the professional world," Hixson said on The Ross Grimsley Show Sept. 17.
