The tragedy of Hack Wilson

Hack Wilson holds the major leage baseball record for RBIs in a single season. At one point he was the highest-paid player in the National League. But he died penniless and his son refused to claim his remains. Here is what Wilson left on record:

"Talent isn't enough. You need common sense and good advice. If anyone tries to tell you different, tell them the story of Hack Wilson. ... Kids in and out of baseball who think because they have talent they have the world by the tail. It isn't so. Kids, don't be too big to accept advice. Don't let what happened to me happen to you."
