Baseball is reflective of life.

I like baseball. In large part because it's a team sport. Nine players. And they have to find a way to function. Together. One weak link and it can cost a game. Generally, all goes well if the pitching is strong. And the hitting is timely. And everybody plays good defense. If the hitting isn't good, though, one can still win with good pitching. And vice versa. And there's an element of luck, too. A weak roller that a hitter beats out at the right moment can be better than a homerun in a one-sided game. Yes, it's a game of skill. And a game of chance. Baseball is reflective of life. --Jim Broede
