What's your dream retirement scenario? Sailing around the world? Skydiving into a Blue Hole? Eating at every pizza place in your town? No, no, no. Let's be realistic. It's playing video games all day. And on Wednesday, former MLB pitcher Dan Haren was living that dream:

Just played Legend of Zelda for 2 hours. This is the life I dreamed of 25 years ago. Stay in school, dreams come true kids.

What a role model. What a hero.
Please continue to keep us informed of your post-baseball life, Dan. It has been quite enjoyable thus far.
