Huh, TIL. Much less marketable indeed.

Yeah, I agree. It's much easier to say now though. I think at the time, I just didn't want my mom to have to deal with any added stress so I went along with it. I accepted (and still accept) what I did. Was it in my best interest

When I was a felon, part of my success was due to good targeting. Now that I'm a misdemeanor(er?), I'm a much more free since a misdemeanor is a lot less marketable. At the time, I had the advantage of a solid work history in comp

As a former felon, I've learned first-hand the fallout from being named in crime stories. The AP has it right in that a lot of it isn't realized by readers or society. Upon being charged with crimes, I had to make my way through t

Pitchers have an incentive for a better grip on the ball. It's in a batter's best interest as well — getting hit by a 95MPH pitch is going to hurt. Adding a substance to the ball to increase spin rate via the aerodynamics — in ret
