What could have compelled him that this was the right time?

I understand he's gonna be an understudy to Father Merrick

lisu · Jan 22, 2010

wow, he had a ton of potential too!

I dont think I have ever heard of a prospect quitting to join the priesthood. I know Billy Sunday did it a century ago but he was an established star. I think its great to follow one's own convictions and give up what would be a dream for so many people!

If Jennings ever follows suit, I will perform a coup de grace on myself.

You have to be kidding. I am dreaming right? Someone wake me up! ::facepalm::

None, but this is shocking.

Well, former LA Rams DT Merlin Olsen became "Father Murphy" back in 1981. Sort of.

Show off those Desme EE Auto stashes! :lol: ::facepalm::

Have to respect a man that walks away from a game where he can make tons of $$$ for the priesthood. Sucks for prospectors, but you have to respect his decision.

I don't see this as being that different from what Pat Tillman did.

The mood just strikes people some time.

Kind of reminds us all that it is just a game.

Sorry to get a little deep there...

Couldn't he still play for the Padres :lol:
I wish him nothing but the best with his decision, as I'm sure that he put a lot of effort in his decision.
