Why is baseball the Great American Game?
Could it be because baseball teaches us so many critical life lessons?
- Talent is important, but hard work is even more important
- It takes a team
- Sportsmanship matters
- You have to show up to play
- Some people are born to specialize; some people are born to be position players
- If you're right 40% of the time, you're a phenom
- Rookies may add excitement, but veterans are the foundation of every team
- Always make time for a 7th inning stretch
- Charge every base, even if you think they're going to throw you out
- The greatest achievements in life are years in the making
- There's always another game; what matters is how you close out the season
- Sometimes the only way to win is to bunt
- Don't let them get inside your head
- Cover your bases
- Statistics are a valuable tool, but sometimes it comes down to heart
- Know when to take the at-bat and when to go with a designated hitter
- Home runs are great, but more often it's base hits that win game
- Everyone plays better when they've got fans cheering for them
- Not all calls are going to be fair
- If you're going to fail, at least go down swinging
