A ballplayer spends a good

Piece of his life gripping a

Baseball, and in the end it

Turns out that it was the

Other way around all the

Time.

- Jim Bouton

 

You’re not going to always

Hit a home run in life.

You’re going to strike out!

You’re going to walk to the

Dugout of life, frustrated,

While spectators chirp your

Name in judgment.

They’re afraid to even get

On the field, and you know it.

The fact that you get back up

There, unafraid, going after

That next home run,

Makes you the person you are.

- Ron Baratono

 

It’s the only way I think I’m ever

Going to walk away from the game,

Is to go ahead and say I’m going to,

And then I’ve got to.

There’s no turning back now…

Win, lose or draw.

- Bobby Cox
