(S30) PT 2 - Alternate History

[yonggarius]

William Lim came through a very unlikely path until he became a professional wide receiver. Originally a baseball shortstop, Lim first became an elite football athlete in the sophomore year in college. And that decision was made after much persuasion when he was originally planning to quitbeing an elite athlete altogether as his baseball career came to an end halfway through his sophomore season in college due to the lack of improvement in his batting skills, which had deterred him from being drafted to the pros out of high school despite his good defensive ability as a shortstop.

If for whatever reason Lim decided that he did not like to play this totally new sport, he would've have gine through the path he originally planned to go to when he first quit the baseball team, which was to become a lawyer. As he had not neglected academics through his formal education (unlike what most elite athletes do in his native country of South Korea), Lim's GPA was more than enough to get him into the law school at the moment. And as he would've had a lot more time as a full time student than as a student athlete, it is very probable that his grades would jave improved. So, if not for the decision to play the completely new sport of football, it is highly likely that William Lim would be earning his living as a lawyer somewhere in his home country. (243)
