A ballplayer spends a good

Baseball, and in the end it

Other way around all the

Time.

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

040721 quotes

No matter how good you are,

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.

040221 I Believe in Jesus...

I Believe In Jesus

I believe in the One they called Jesus,

I believe He stilled storm Galilee;

I believe that He walked on the water,

And I believe that He’s the answer for me.

 

I believe in the words of the Bible,

How He made the poor blind man to see;

I believe that the deaf ears were opened,

And I believe He’s made a difference in me.

 

I believe that He spoke to dead Lazarus,

And He said “unbind and set free;”

I believe that He reigns up in heaven,

And I believe that He is coming again.

Chorus:

Yes, I believe in the One they called Jesus,

I believe He died on Mount Calvary;

And I believe that the tomb was found empty,

And I believe that He’s the answer for me.

- Alton H. Howard

While I am flattered about the speculation

Of being enticed out of retirement,

I’m happy with life as a bad golfer!

- Chipper Jones

 

I never thought home runs were all that exciting.

I still think the triple is the most exciting thing

In baseball. To me, a triple is like a guy taking

The ball on his 1-yard line and running 99

For a touchdown.

- Hank Aaron

 

There are four ways for a catcher to have a good day …

033121 quotes

Each of us tends to think

We see things as they are,

But this is not the case.

We see the world,

Not as it is, but as we are…

Or as we are conditioned

To see it.

- Stephen Covey

 

Effective people are not

They feed opportunities

And starve problems.

And we're foolish when we ask

Anything to last,

But surely we're still more foolish

Not to take delight in it while we

Have it.

Existence one would have thought

It only sensible to make it the

Premise of our philosophy.

- W. Somerset Maugham

You think there isn’t room for it in your

Budget, we can help you “find the money.”

Telling you why you can’t.

For all of you non-believers out there,

I have something to say to you...

Never underestimate the heart of a

Champion.

A Quilter’s Prayer

 

Take the pieces of my life

And stitch them together

According to Your will.

 

May I yield to the pricks

Of Your needle

So that Your stitches

May surround me with

The pattern of Your love.

 

May I allow You to order

The squares anyway You want,

To pattern me by Your design

So that all will know

You quilted me.

Action with without vision is a nightmare.
