First of all, because there is no clock, a comeback is never impossible. And if you don't come back, there is tomorrow. Baseball is played every day. If you don't succeed, you'll have a brawl in the clubhouse and a chance to do it all over again the next day. If this takes away some of the sting of defeat, I suppose it also takes away some of the sweetness of victory.
Tomorrow is always another ballgame.
And as a game can ebb and flow, with winning moments and losing moments, so can life. The important thing, I guess, is to have more winning moments than losing. As I said, it's easy to get corny about baseball. It's too easy. This page last updated October 28, 2000.
