Eclecticism is the word. Like a jazz musician who creates his own style out of the styles around him, I play by ear.
“I just try to get on anyway that I can, hit, hit-by-pitch, walk, home runs, anything.”
“If you wish in this world to advance your merits you're bound to enhance; You must stir it and stump it, and blow your own trumpet, Or, trust me, you haven't a chance.”
