Baseball is a game of race, creed, and color. The race is to first base. The creed is the rules of the game. The color? Well, the home team wears white uniforms, and the visiting team wears gray.
I set very high standards for myself and worked every game with the same energy and enthusiasm as if it were the seventh game of a World Series.
