What if there were no grownups? Suppose the whole idea of grownups was an illusion?

He wore no clothes except underwear-I mean, bright white fruit of the Looms. Rick Riordan
baseball commitment simple
Years ago, while I was watching a baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Texas Rangers, I remember staring in awe at Cal Ripken.

It's about leadership, work ethic and commitment. Ron White

A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules. Talent is one thing. Being able to go from spring to October is another. You just got caught in a position where you have no position.
baseball simple player
