No matter how good you are,
You’re going to lose one-third
Of your games.
No matter how bad you are
You’re going to win one-third
Of your games.
It’s the other third that makes
The difference.
- Tommy Lasorda
Baseball isn’t just a game.
It’s the smell of popcorn
Drifting in the air,
The sight of bugs buzzing
Near the stadium lights,
The roughness of the dirt
Beneath your cleats.
It’s the anticipation building
In your chest as the anthem
Plays, the adrenaline rush
When your bat cracks against
The ball and the surge of blood
When the umpire shouts strike
After you pitch. It’s a team full
Of guys backing your every move,
A bleacher full of people cheering
You on. It’s…life.”
- Katie McGarry
It was one at bat during October
1975 that defined his [Joe Morgan’s]
Place in baseball history and secured
The legacy of the Big Red Machine,
All with one swing.
- Tucker Elliot
