Everything I Really Need to Know I Learned from Baseball

Written in 1994, recently pulled from the archives — aka, my garage.
- People will give you all kinds of pitches — wait for the good ones
- Sometimes you need your own language to understand the game (ie. “The Bird is Flying”)
- It really is more than just a game
- The cheapest seats may be the best in the house
- Once in a while we all need a reliever
- You have to take your foot off first to reach second
- You gotta take a swing at it
- A hot dog with nachos is a well-balanced meal
- Sometimes you have to sit and wait out a storm
- Fair-weathered fans are part of the deal, but the best will stick with you through any season or slump
- No one bats 1.000

Beth, Phil would really enjoy this one. We did “endure” a 12 inning game in Baltimore in April, 43 degrees, but it was the last time Mariano Rivero played…for a while anyway…
I love your baseball brain!!
