And That's What Makes This A Great

Enjoying Success Requires The Ability To Adapt. Only By Being Open To Change Will You Have A True Opportunity To Get The Most From Your Talent.

It Took Me A While To Figure That Out And To Realize What A Gift That I Had Been Given. And When I Finally Did, I Dedicated Myself To Be The Best Pitcher I Possibly Could Be, For As Long As I Possibly Could Be.

I Guess That's What Little League Is All About -- Trying.

You've Got To Realize That In Any Competition There Is Always A Winner And Loser. When It Turns Out That You're The Loser On A Given Day, You Can Be A Graceful Loser, But It Doesn't Mean That You're A Loser In The Sense That You're Willing To Accept Losses Readily. Concede That On That Day You Weren't The Best And That You Were Beaten In Competition. But That Should Make You More Dedicated And Hard Working. It's Wrong To Accept Defeat As A Loser. Be Graceful About Losing, But Don't Accept It.

And To Play As Long As I Did And To Have A Family You Have To Be Very Blessed And I Was With My Wife Ruth. Ruth, I Appreciate The Job You Did, And My Three Fine Children, Reid, Reese, And Wendy.
