and not because my Giants won the World Series this year...although that was quite an experience to watch the season unfold and to see it culminate in a championship...
simply awesome...
baseball plays itself out much like life and is, at least for me, a blueprint for how i view and live out my life...
i've had the pleasure and honor of playing for a few championship teams in my life thru recreational baseball or softball. in each, i wasn't a star player. i wasn't even a major player. but i was a contributor and more importantly, when my opportunity came, i contributed in the deciding games.
that's what life is about, know your role, accept your role, fulfill it to the best of your abilities. support your teammates no matter what and step up when called upon. if you don't get your chance today, you'll get your chance the next game...or the next...
and act like you've done it before and will do it again...
that, in a nutshell is life...
there's a line in "You've Got Mail" where Joe Fox (F-O-X)states that "The Godfather is the I Ching. The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom. The Godfather is the answer to any question..."
no Joe...Baseball is...
