| THE PASSION OF BASEBALLÂ What is
| |
| | were all in our 30's and this team was in
|
| something you are passionate about?
| |
| | their 40's. Well I catch myself thinking
|
| Passion is contagious and feed off this
| |
| | now wouldn't it be cool to be playing
|
| positive energy. Have you ever seen two
| |
| | ball in our 50's like these guys are.
|
| people who truly love the game of
| |
| | Every year this team beat us. We never
|
| baseball talk about baseball?
| |
| | beat them. It had almost become an
|
| I had a friend's wife tell me once that
| |
| | obsession for me to beat them. This year
|
| we can remember every play in a game we
| |
| | we finally did. After the game I was
|
| watched or played in but why is it that
| |
| | talking to their captain and kidded him
|
| we can not remember a simple grocery list
| |
| | that now I can die in peace. He replied
|
| that is given to us. Some of us can
| |
| | by saying that it has been true joy
|
| recite stats for their teams 50 years
| |
| | playing us these past years because he
|
| ago. We can tell who played in what World
| |
| | can tell we loved the game and played
|
| Series and who the winning pitcher was
| |
| | like it.
|
| and who hit the game winning homerun, off
| |
| | Why do a bunch of "old" people continue
|
| of whom and what pitch. Why is that?
| |
| | to play the game of softball? I truly
|
| A lot of my childhood memories are tied
| |
| | believe that we can not give up the love
|
| to baseball. I remember spending hours
| |
| | of baseball and the passion we have for
|
| hitting a rock in front of my house
| |
| | it. It is part of us and it has shaped
|
| pretending to be my idol Rod Carew. I
| |
| | who we are. If you looked at each one of
|
| used to mimic his stance and his loose
| |
| | us in our profession or home life, the
|
| wrists. I wanted to be just like him. I
| |
| | way we live our lives are similar to how
|
| made myself into a switch hitter because
| |
| | we play the game. Getting back to the
|
| of him. As I grew older the demise of my
| |
| | earlier question on why is it that some
|
| professional career was that I could not
| |
| | people can recite stats or remember every
|
| hit the breaking ball. I could sit on
| |
| | play in a game? It's the love we have for
|
| that fastball and hit it out of the park
| |
| | the game of baseball. The passion and the
|
| but as soon as they took something off or
| |
| | love for the game helps define who some
|
| put a break on it I could not hit it. So
| |
| | of us are. Find your passion and share it
|
| there went my dream of a professional
| |
| | with the world and make each one of us
|
| career but not my passion for the game.
| |
| | that much better for knowing you. This
