"You can't steal second base and keep your foot on first." - Frederick B. Wilcox.If you don't take some chances, you probably won't improve. A runner on first or second base can try to "steal" the next base. He does this by dashing there as the pitcher prepares his fastball. Stealing a base is not easy, but it might be worth running the risk.We face choices like this every day; stay safe or take a risk."Every strike brings me closer to the next home run." - Babe Ruth
Ruth knew that you often have to fail before you succeed. The Bambino and batters before and after him have missed more balls than they have hit. Take the latest World Series winners, the San Francisco Giants. They lost over 40 percent of their games during the 2012 season. They viewed every win or loss as another step forward.There's no room for self-pity after a loss - only for more effort the next time.
