The adulation of the crowd, attractive remuneration plus huge fees on advertisement deals has brought baseball players to the ‘dream career’ for athletic youths today. Even photos of handsome players or champs holding an Akadema baseball bat in the field fetch whopping dollars for magazines’ photo articles. Indeed players have become a celebrity in their own game. The great deal about it is that they are now also paired to Hollywood celebrities that further bring them to superstardom. You have Tony Parker and Eva Longoria, David Beckham and Victoria ‘Posh’, and many others that are enjoying fame and fortune today.

However celebrity sportsdom has its drawbacks as well. Sometimes players are no longer judged according to their skills. Nowadays they are mostly judged based on the females they date that also affect their game. Like in the case of Tony Romo, he became a worldwide household name when he started dating then breaking up with Jessica Simpson. As what the common adages say “you can’t have it all” or “everything has its trade-offs”.
