Andy Pettitte and perhaps Roger Clemens are but the latest in a trend I’ve been noticing a lot in recent years: professional athletes who feel the need to leave a successful team and an adoring fan base in order to be closer to their family. As someone who grew up in a military family, attending seven different schools before graduating high school, I’m wondering why it is that people making upwards of $10 million annual salaries can’t just move their family to the city in which they are employed. I’m given to understand that people often do just that while making a fraction of the salary.
