My husband and brother in laws... who are seriously talented ball players, spent the afternoon coaching Shawn. They put him through a great practice, pitching, hitting, and fielding balls. The girls watched and played on the field.... It was a wonderful afternoon. Shawn enjoyed every second, he really loves and lookes up to Uncle Troy and Uncle Jake. He worked hard and played well, and we really appreciate our family taking time to work with him. I have the best husband ever, he works with Shawn daily and is a great coach and #1 fan. Did I ever mention that I love baseball? Okay, just checkin!
Baseball gives every American boy a chance to excel, not just to be as good as someone else but to be better than someone else. This is the nature of man and the name of the game.”
Baseball is made up of very few big and dramatic moments, but rather it's a beautifully put together pattern of countless little subtleties that finally add up to the big moment, and you have to be well-versed in the game to truly appreciate them.
Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.
I see great things in baseball. It's our game -- the American game. It will take our people out of doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism, relieve us from being nervous, and be a blessing to us.
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.”
Baseball is a man maker.”
