Said the master, "How would you like it if someone offered you fruit, and chewed it up before giving it to you?" No one can find your meaning for you. not even the master.

Baseball teaches us, or has taught most of us, how to deal with failure. We learn at a very young age that failure is the norm in baseball, and precisely because we have failed, we hold in high regard those who fail less often-those who hit safely in one out of three chances, and become star players. I also find it fascinating that baseball, alone in sport, considers errors to be part of the game, part of its rigorous truth.
