In baseball, I was always in control of everything until I let the ball go.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been in baseball my whole life, so I understand there's a lot in baseball that is out of your control, and you have to focus on the things you can control.
When I hit, I felt I was in control of the home-plate area, and it was important that I felt that way. If I let the pitcher control it, it would give him an advantage.
I had great control, I never missed hitting the other's fellow bat.
I am in control at all times.
I love sports, and when I was playing soccer, I was always trying to be the leader on the team and the one who takes control.
I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.
I don't think I have ever been out of control.
I like to control everything, and you cannot control everything. You have to at some point say, 'I let go and I'm going to let the cards fall where they fall... For a control freak, it's hard.
In my life, things have happened to me. I've never felt I was controlling anything.
The pitcher has the ball, and nothing happens until he lets go of it. So as the batter, I felt I had to fight for any bit of control I could get. I expected the umpire, the catcher, and the pitcher to wait on me. I wanted to get ready on my time.
