9. Complete this sentence: I am the only player in Major League Baseball...

Joe Nelson: Who married their radiologist when they blew out their elbow. I think I'm the only one.

TB: How did that happen?

JN: I was in Triple-A, in Richmond, and my wife was in her last year of residency, doing a fellowship. And she did an arthrogram, told me she could show me on the arthrogram that I tore my UCL and we've got to get an MRI, so they did an MRI. I walked back with her to get the results and asked her why she wasn't married. She said because she doesn't date doctors, and I said, "Well, that's good. I'm not a doctor." So I asked her out that night, and now I've got three beautiful kids and a beautiful wife, and I'm probably the only one who actually married their radiologist.

TB: You went right after it.

JN: Well, I knew I was gonna be out a year, so I had a little time.

My favorite part

Talking about pitching with himself in a video game….Hilarious

I got tired after like three pitches and started getting hit around the ballpark. I’m like, “This is a really realistic game!” But yeah, I did it once. Other people have called me and yelled at me, said, “Your guy is not very good in this game!”

Self-depravating humor is the best kind IMO

Do what you love to do and give it your very best. Whether it's business or baseball, or the theater, or any field. If you don't love what you're doing and you can't give it your best, get out of it. Life is too short. You'll be an old man before you know it.

Not impressed.

Gastroenterologists are so much hotter.
