#fastball
I may never be a Nolan Ryan fastball pitcher,
But I can play any position the coach asks of me and I’m a helluva hitter.
Try to be a sponge in everything I do,
Resourcefulness, Adaptability and Work Ethic are your conquest clues.
So make every second count young person!!
Wear your heart on your sleeve..express yourself for all to see!!!
And as **Dale Carnegie once said…Be the better person and don’t worry about anyone talking incompetence
Cause “Unjust criticism is often a disguised complement”!

To the pitcher who came from Duluth
The coach said. Son it's a hard the ruth
Your curve ball is shot
Your heaters not hot
Son, you'd be better off up in the booth
The pitcher said he wouldn't go
I've spent 15 years up in the show
The coach said my son
Your arm is just done
Don't argue. The answer's still no
The pitcher said trade me away
I know deep inside I can play
Son, we've shopped you around
No new team can be found
Accept it. Your last day's today
