Who's to say? 665 00:37:22,037 --> 00:37:25,871 But the fact is that most of the kids who graduated with him... 666 00:37:26,108 --> 00:37:28,804 they're either dead or they're on the express train there. 667 00:37:28,877 --> 00:37:30,811 The way these kids grow up... 668 00:37:30,879 --> 00:37:33,109 A major league contract's a big incentive. 669 00:37:33,182 --> 00:37:34,978 You want to know that when I was a kid... 670 00:37:35,049 --> 00:37:37,108 I dreamed of making it to the bigs just so I could... 671 00:37:37,185 --> 00:37:39,346 buy my old man a steak and a Caddy. 672 00:37:39,420 --> 00:37:41,479 When Pat was drafted number two in the country... 673 00:37:41,556 --> 00:37:43,319 his old man's name didn't even come up. 674 00:37:43,391 --> 00:37:47,157 Then Pat gets drafted, he's all over him like tar on George Brett's bat. 675 00:37:47,228 --> 00:37:49,253 Benny and his million-dollar smile. 676 00:37:49,330 --> 00:37:52,629 They hugged, they kissed, the world's a great place to live. 677 00:37:53,434 --> 00:37:57,427 The night Ben Williams was killed, Pat said he was here with you. 678 00:37:58,306 --> 00:38:01,969 It's ironic, isn't it? You see, I figure that if the kids see Pat... 679 00:38:02,043 --> 00:38:05,809 they'll think twice about shoving what's left of their lives up their noses. 680 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,008 And then what does Pat do?
