Why does everyone label a player his age as indecisive when it comes to continuing as a ball player? Seems to me that this is the time for him to have questions and doubts about enduring the rigors of a MLB schedule. My retirement from working is at the very minimum, 11 years away and I have doubts...
Well, let's be fair. Miggy doesn't need one either. Sure, he's made a lot less than Scott over the years, but Cairo is STILL a multimillionaire. Comparing him to the even bigger multimillionaires isn't exactly a glimpse into the poor house that is Cairo's life.

Considering his limitations as a player 17 seasons, 4,392 plate appearances, and $10 million in earnings was a helluva career for Cairo.
Yeah, I'd say he's set for life.
