Loyalty to the Team

Well, this morning my current softball team played two teams with several players that were on my former softball team. I faced a pitcher that was a teammate, another pitcher that I spent the winter practicing with, I hit the ball to a shortstop that was my best friend on the team last year, and then I watched more of my former teammates play each other after my games were done.

How hard must this be in the Major Leagues?

I felt guilty telling my current teammates the weaknesses of my former teammates. These were people that I considered friends and marched into "battle" with every Sunday, only to turn on them the following year. There's a lot more on the line for these Major Leaguers. How hard is it for Shawn Green and Damion Easley to tell their new Mets teammates about everything they know about their former team.

Just thinking about it.
