Koskie: "I think I can still play."

[JET15]

From the Boston Globe: Koskie's goal: a normal life:

 

"I know I've got a long way to go. I would certainly not want to lead any team on at this point. I've got to see if I can do it and see if I can play in a game and go through the everyday stuff that a major league ballplayer has to go through."

 

"I'm also 34 going on 35. There are a lot of players out there looking for jobs. I have no idea what I'd be like if I came back. I think I can still play. I think I can still hit. The last two weeks have been so encouraging that it's started to make me feel like I'd like to give this a go again."

 

 

Good Luck to him

Good luck Corey, and if you get full doctor's clearance... give Doug a call!

 

"Koskie, who estimates he'd had anywhere from 8-15 mild concussions in his professional career, remembers feeling so tired for so long."

Whoa - not a good sign.

Then his cell phone rang and went to go open the front door.

 

Honestly, best of luck to Corey, he will be an asset wherever he goes. Concussions are weird things though, so I just hope he is careful.

Koskie has suffered from postconcussion syndrome since he was hurt on July 5, 2006, while backpedaling to catch a popup. Koskie said he never banged his head. He fell on his back and shoulder. But his life would never be the same.

 

I hate to ask this and bring up the memory again, but didn't he take a knee to his head? Does he just not recall banging his head?

 

Either way, best of luck to Corey and I hope he really knows what he's doing. It sounds very positive right now, and if he could come back, even on a limited basis, I would love to see him on the Brewers again.
