the better. When he gets smart and begins to experiment with a lot of

is that it is not played the year round." - Gaylord Perry

throw is eighty percent of being a successful hitter. The other twenty

team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest
bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the
club won't be worth a dime." - Babe Ruth
