Baseball

When you crush a ball in the gap, it makes you feel unstoppable. When you make a diving catch, it feels like you're on top of the world. When you steal a base, it's like you can do no wrong. But when you strike out, sometimes you want to hang your head. When you miss a fly ball, you want to dwell on the fact that you messed up. When you get thrown out and you have dirt in your eyes, it can be hard to pick yourself up. But in baseball, you can't get caught up in mistakes, you have to be ready for the next pitch. Baseball isn't just a game, the way you play baseball is the way you should live your life. Always keep moving, even when you make mistakes.

Good poem Logan. It is a rare game that rewards failure. If you can fail only 70% of the time you will be a millionaire.
