Things about life and baseball

When I was in grad school my advisor told me: `Giving great talks is like playing baseball: if you manage to hit .300, you are real good!' I later found out that the analogy between baseball and life goes beyond giving talks.

	Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back (Babe Ruth).
	Every strike brings me closer to the next home run (Babe Ruth).
	I never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout (Babe Ruth).
	If I'd just tried for them dinky singles I could've batted around .600 (Babe Ruth).
	I never said most of the things I said (Yogi Berra).
	It ain't over till it's over (Yogi Berra).
	So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face (Yogi Berra).
	You can observe a lot by just watching (Yogi Berra).
	You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there (Yogi Berra).
	If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose (Derek Jeter).
	My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true (Derek Jeter).
	I don't think you can do well unless you're having fun (Derek Jeter).
	When we lost, I couldn't sleep at night. When we win, I can't sleep at night. But, when you win, you wake up feeling better (Joe Torre).
	Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.' (Mickey Mantle).
	A ball player has to be kept hungry to become a big leaguer (Joe DiMaggio).
	Now I've had everything except for the thrill of watching Babe Ruth play (Joe DiMaggio).
