Baseball play quits saying he doesn't deserve $12M
 
This is the kind of news you don't hear much nowadays. Integrity.

Okay, Gil Meche hasn't been great since signing a big contract with the Kansas City Royals. But not many players would feel so badly about their performance that they would walk away from a guaranteed $12 million.

Meche announced last week he will retire, giving up the payday due on the last year of his deal. Meche has always been known for his integrity, according to The New York Times, but this move left the baseball world stunned. Meche said he just didn't like the idea of not earning his keep.

?When I signed my contract, my main goal was to earn it,? Meche told the paper from his temporary home in Lafayette, La. ?Once I started to realize I wasn?t earning my money, I felt bad. I was making a crazy amount of money for not even pitching. Honestly, I didn?t feel like I deserved it. I didn?t want to have those feelings again.?

I think it's a breath of fresh air in professional sports. Pitchers and catchers will be reporting in about 2 weeks :-)

It would be perfect timing if Vernon Wells followed his lead.

Why do you care why he cares? Because he is Canadian?

They're probably thinking "a penny saved is a penny earned"
