Sorry Mitch Harris, Baseball Can Wait, Navy Can't


Mitch Harris was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals last week. Mr. Harris is a Navy midshipman and hopes to delay his service so he can play baseball.

The Navy has said no, and Mr. Harris will now serve his five years.

The DCS applauds the Navy. Mr. Harris made a commitment, and so did the Navy. Mr. Harris benefitted from the Navy's end of the bargain, now it is time to hold us his end.

The DCS does not agree with the Army which has an "Implemented Alternate Service Option" which is allowing a Cadet to play for the Detroit Lions.

A deal is a deal.
