I've talked this one through with @cdgoldstein.baseballprospectus.com and the BP editorial staff and they have graciously allowed me to remain an author emeritus. I will still contribute to the annual and website here and there but much less frequently.
And for that, I am very grateful.

Between the "Pizza Cutter" days posting at Baseball Fever and Statistically Speaking and then @baseballprospectus.com, it's been almost 20 years and I'm not as 25 as I used to be.
The grind of weekly work and having a "real job" and a "real family" just got to be too much.
That's the entire story.
