You know this baseball game of ours comes up from the youth. That means the boys. And after you've been a boy, and grow up to know how to play ball, then you come to the boys you see representing themselves today in our national pastime.

One's Self
It is a craft,
And like a pastime;
Resources,
Expressing yourself,
With your style,
With your mark,
With your act,
With your muse,
With your art,
And like the spur of the moment.
It is a craft,
it is your muse,
And like a pastime;
With your handprints and your footprints!
But, this pastime is like one's self.

I was a baseball player, I taught baseball, and all of a sudden I was in the business world. Now I used the baseball world to talk about their product. Not too much, just enough to keep going. Just be yourself and you'll never have a problem. That's what I did.
