There are many kids in and out of baseball who think that just because they have some natural talent, they have the world by the tail.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
We're all still kids when it comes to baseball.
Kids don't learn the fundamentals of baseball at the games anymore.
Baseball gives a growing boy self poise and self reliance.
Baseball is about talent, hard work, and strategy. But at the deepest level, it's about love, integrity, and respect.
Every kid in America dreams of playing in the big leagues and they don't, just because. It's not because they blew out their knee. It's just because they didn't make it.
Baseball cannot be learned as a trade. It begins with the sport of the schoolboy, and though it may end in the professional, I am sure there is not a single one of these who learned the game with the expectation of making it a business. There have been years in the life of each during which he must have ate and drank and dreamed baseball.
Baseball players have such a bad rap of, like, 'We don't work out or we're not strong or this or that.' Guys work so hard in baseball, it's incredible. But people don't know that.
One of the many things I like about baseball is how it combines individual talent and teamsmanship.
Like a lot of kids, you kind of think baseball's boring - that's the perception.
