Playing baseball


I loved how everybody was telling the boy to stop playing baseball. Here we have, a boy who could have been as good as DeMaggio, who is constantly being put pressure on to dedicate his life to everything else... but for baseball. What I like most about it is that, in a way, is much more true to real life than all those crappy movies in which somebody becomes instantly a star because everybody instantly recognises how talented they are.

I've always thought that you need a certain rebelliousness in life to get what you want, just leading a life exactly as your parents is not the best solution. How are things going to improve if everybody just says "yes, sir", "yes, madam" to everything they are told?

That was the era Ty Cobb played in. Sure glad no one convinced him not to play ball!
