Succeed Early, Die Young
2 Jan 08 Researchers at Wayne State University found that players who make it to the big leagues at a younger-than-average age don't live as long as other players. "Every year a baseball player debuted before the average age of 23.6 years was associated with life span being shortened by 0.24 years," they reported in the journal Death Studies. The results support the hypothesis that "earlier achievement is associated with earlier death," a phenomenon detected in other walks of life.
