One More Cup of Coffee is the final go-round of the weather-beaten veteran (see note below). In these last days, he no longer seeks glory – he just hangs on, content with to play a minor role. Once he was a star. He yanked homeruns down the line and blew fastballs by sluggers. Now his body, unaided by performance enhancers, aches terribly. To pinch hit in a tie game, to face just one lefty in the seventh inning – these are enough to sustain his spirit. Just one more cup of coffee before I go....


Note: by One More Cup of Coffee, a player could in fact mean two, three, or even seven more cups of coffee.)
