Go, have a good time, but don't expect a vacation by any stretch of your imagination. You'll be working hard, and you'll come back in better physical condition than you think. Matter of fact, if you aren't in shape now, NOW is a good time to get a head start on school. Work the legs - you'll be on your feet a LOT!

So if the OP is one of the best he'll get a shot at pro ball?
I doubt it if he's 43.
