BASEBALL
I’m glad I played baseball when I was little, otherwise I’d have missed learning a lot of things that served me well later.
Things like don’t put your head up when someone says, “Heads up,” don’t misjudge, and don’t speak softly unless you carry a big stick are important. Also, it’s better if you don’t learn them all the hard way.
I also found how events seem slow-motion just before an accident, how to treat a black eye and why not to play catcher without a face mask. Good tips all.
Everyone was right too about sports developing fair play. Teams were extremely fair about picking me for their side. “You take him.” “No, you take him!” “No, you take him!” It brings a lump to my throat yet.
Also, team sports have a definite advantage over individual sports because your teammates give you encouragement. They pushed me (though sometimes literally) to set lofty goals and reach them.
Take, for instance, catching a fly ball without getting hit in the face, picking up a grounder without getting hit in the face and sitting in the dugout without getting hit in the face. I achieved all these goals during my career. And my teammates were there to give me a cheer, it being beside the point what kind of cheer.
Not that I couldn’t hit and field. I could. It’s just that their standards were much more strict. What’s wrong with close?
