Summary

This quote highlights the shift in mindset and priorities of ballplayers over time. In the past, the old ballplayer valued and prioritized the team they played for, represented by the name on the front of their jersey. Their focus was on their collective success as a team. However, the new ballplayer prioritizes their individual success, represented by the name on the back of their jersey. The quote suggests that there has been a transition from a team-oriented mentality to a more individualistic approach in today's ballplayers.
