Advice from some baseball players

As the baseball season begins to get interesting, or at least so I hear (Since I am both an Oriole and Nationals fan, I can only dream about next year). I thought I would share some great quotes from some famous ball players that can be applied to the upcoming school year.

A life
is not
important
except in
the impact
it has
on other lives.


Jackie Robinson (1919-1972)
Hall of Fame baseball player



“Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again.
That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is.”


Bob Feller
Hall of Fame pitcher

Hitting is timing.

Pitching is upsetting
timing.

Warren Spahn (1921-2003)

Hall of Fame pitcher



Never
let the fear
of striking out
get
in your way.


Babe Ruth (1895-1948)
world’s greatest baseball player

Great advice, Tom! Great post, as usual!

On a sidenote, I'll be at FedEx this Saturday evening watching our Skins beat up on the Steelers!

GO SKINS!
