You've all heard them before: "It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up." Muhammad Ali “It’s not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.” Paul Bear Bryant “Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical.” Yogi Berra "I spent 90 percent of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted." George Best So Jim Bouton died recently. For those of you that don't know he was a pitcher with the Yankees and wrote "Ball Four" an inside look at baseball players behaving badly. His obit was in the Washington Post a few days ago: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/jim-bouton-baseball-pitcher-whose-ball-four-gave-irreverent-peek-inside-the-game-dies-at-80/2019/07/10/f73acf52-b4e5-11e7-9e58-e6288544af98_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.34b1915d0825 And it closed with the following line that I thought, with a small edit, would certainly apply to many of us: “You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a pool cue and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time.” Anywhos, the line stuck with me and thought I'd share.
