“People like us are afraid to leave ball. What else is there to do? When baseball has been your whole life, you can't think about a future without it, so you hang on as long as you can.”
Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
I eventually became proud of my strikeouts, because each one represented another learning experience.
That's where the future lies, in the youth of today.
I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don't get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself.
There's nothing I value more than the closeness of friends and family, a smile as I pass someone on the street.
