Looking Through the Mask. A unique perspective of professional baseball from former Angels catcher, Chris Rosenbaum. Win and You’re In. Well, it did not quite work out like that, but we succeeded regardless. Despite dropping six of our last seven, we backed into post season play with some help from Lancaster (Houston Astros affiliate) on Saturday night. This is the first time the Quakes have been to the post season in five years. That, in itself, is a feat. Nonetheless, when more than half of minor leagu...

Looking Through the Mask. A unique perspective of professional baseball from former Angels catcher, Chris Rosenbaum. It is the final baseball-less weekend before the 2010 season gets underway. I use the term “baseball-less” loosely, seeing as I had to go over to the field for about a half hour yesterday to “report” for spring training, and three-hour physicals began at 7:45am this morning. Today is last day without any baseball activity until April 6, the day after camp breaks. The shooters are consumed ...

Looking Through the Mask. A unique perspective of professional baseball from former Angels catcher, Chris Rosenbaum. So, You Wanna Play Professional Baseball? It is finally February 3 (for those of you just tuning into my blog, I have made past references to the industry’s acceptance of every day being Groundhog Day). This will be the first day since the start of spring training that my mind will be clear of baseball. While I try to escape it on off days, I never completely succeed. 140 games in 152 days...

After taking nearly eight weeks to figure out how to put a 19-year career into words, I have realized that this is a feat nothing short of impossible. More likely, though, is that putting closing remarks on something that I have been doing for so long is a daunting task. The easy answer is because it is fun. These doubters, often those...

Looking Through the Mask. A unique perspective of professional baseball from former Angels catcher, Chris Rosenbaum. And so it Ends…. After taking nearly eight weeks to figure out how to put a 19-year career into words, I have realized that this is a feat nothing short of impossible. Perhaps my recent job search and embracing the arduous task of breaking into investment banking or private equity in hard economic times allowed my mind to stray and enabled me to postpone this conclusion. These doubters, of...

Looking Through the Mask. A unique perspective of professional baseball from former Angels catcher, Chris Rosenbaum. Catcher for Hire, Will Travel. Tax season has finally finished in what was quite the flurry. Our office was the only one in the district to meet (and exceed) our goals for new client growth and other office targets. The stretch run this past three weeks kept my competitive spirit up and was full of many experiences I can draw upon during my professional career after baseball. While one was...

Looking Through the Mask. A unique perspective of professional baseball from former Angels catcher, Chris Rosenbaum. All too often, you hear someone saying that this game is “just a business.”. This was all too apparent yesterday as our parent club was trying to bolster its starting rotation by making one last addition before the rosters freeze on September 1. While the trading deadline passed on July 31, trades can still occur through September 1 if players clear waivers. The other big component of this...

Looking Through the Mask. A unique perspective of professional baseball from former Angels catcher, Chris Rosenbaum. Another Day, Another Zip Code. When the holidays, a move, a new job, and baseball workouts run together, the result is a two-month blog sabbatical. Although my offseason entries are not as frequent as those during the season, I at least try to do two or three a month. During my holiday trip home to New York, I worked a youth catching clinic with a former coach of mine, Norm Hayner, at his.
