Real Friends Hold You Accountable - How Pearlman's Rocker Article Changed My Life.

Professor Hartman March 18, 2025 5:26 am

If you want to be a good person who is constantly growing and improving, you need to surround yourself with people who challenge you and hold you accountable. This is especially important for choosing a life partner.

My wife nearly dumped me for my initial opinions on the Rocker story! But as I kept an open mind and came around, she saw that perhaps I had some potential. 🙂

Jeff Pearlman's article exposing the truth about baseball pitcher John Rocker was a foundational example of the importance of challenging your own opinions and keeping an open mind.

The events and many discussions inspired by Jeff's article were a huge part of my evolution from a conservative to far left progressive. It was a marking point in some significant transformations in the way I look at the world and how I judge appropriate behavior and opinions.
