I’ve always like sports both as a participant and as a fan. Each game is a mystery that unfolds as the game plays out. In some instances what appeared to be certain defeat turns into victory at the last moment. Baseball has an additional quality many other sports do not have. The game of baseball is never decided until the final out. Last night, for example, the team I root for was behind 3 to 1 going into the ninth inning. The mystery unfolded as the first two Red Sox batters made outs. The third batter got on base. The next batter worked the count to 3 balls and 2 strikes. One more strike and the game is over. He swung at the next pitch and hit a home run to tie the game. The Red Sox went on to win the game in the tenth inning. I was excited. The first words out of my mouth were “never quit.” That’s true in sports and it’s true in life. No matter the odds. don’t quit. You never know, you may hit a home run with your next swing of the bat.
