Ross Stripling has spent much of the last two months working on an island -- the one in the kitchen of his Houston home.

With baseball halted by the coronavirus pandemic, the Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander returned to his offseason job. When not throwing fastballs, he pitches clients as a financial adviser for B. Riley Wealth Management.

The All-Star has retired George Springer in the World Series on a bases-loaded fly that Stripling was sure would be a grand slam. And he's logged on in the morning, seen a stock drop 30% and felt his heart sink into the pit of his stomach.
