Baseball is a game of unrelenting failure. At the very best, at a Hall of Fame level, you are still failing the majority of the time. That’s the beauty of this game. Much like life, there’s failures, you get knocked down, and when you persevere and find yourself back on your feet, it all makes each moment of success all the more sweet.
Moment’s like a team of vagabonds left adrift by a storm and greed, playing in a loaned out temporary home stadium, with a sold out crowd of 10k chanting the name of a 29 year old rookie nicknamed The Mayor in just his 2nd ever major league game.
