Greetings Nick!
This week, I thought I would provide you with some terrific quotes from players associated with Major League Baseball. Enjoy the feedback!
REMEMBER IT IS MOTHER’S DAY SUNDAY! Be sure to thank your Mom for giving you life, and for her year’s of love, guidance and teachings as well as a gene pool that brought you such an amazing gift – skills to possibly become a big league ballplayer one day!
All the best my friend! Continued success!

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS’ 2011 WORLD SERIES HERO DAVID FREESE ON BATTLING HIS WAY FROM THE BASEMENT LEVELS OF BASEBALL TO NEW-FOUND STARDOM: “You have to understand that the game of baseball isn’t going to run away from you. You have to attack the game, and confidence is a huge part of baseball or anything in life.”
------------------------------------------------------------
BASEBALL LEGEND JIM THOME ON HIS ADVICE TO YOUNGER PLAYERS … “Baseball is a basket. Every day you put something in it, but it takes a long time to fill. So just try to be consistent. Play the game. Try not to get too high or too low. Besides, when you think you’ve got it figured out, you don’t. I’ve experienced a lot of failure, but in the long run it’s helped me succeed.”
--------------------------------------------------------------
PITCHING ADVICE … Los Angeles Dodgers’ manager Don Mattingly on when he knew Clayton Kershaw arrived and became his team’s ace of the staff? ”We always knew what Clayton had, but he started to show it. It started with keeping his pitch count down. He used more of his pitches, got the early outs but still got a lot of strikeouts. He didn’t go 0-2 and then wait ‘til 3-2 to put a guy away. His attitude was, ‘Let’s get this over with!’”

“The most important part of a player's body is above his shoulders” - stated by baseball’s legendary Ty Cobb. REMEMBER FELLAS WHAT I’VE BEEN PREACHING FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS – EXERCISE YOUR MIND AS MUCH AS YOUR BODY! WHEN YOUR MIND IS 100% SOLD, CONFIDENT AND CLUTTER FREE, IT WILL UNLEASH YOUR SKILLS AND ALLOW THEM TO TRULY SHINE THROUGH!

“A Full Mind is an Empty Bat” – stated by Branch Rickey, a former Major League Baseball executive who was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1967. He was best known for breaking Major League Baseball's color barrier by signing Jackie Robinson; for drafting the first Hispanic superstar (Roberto Clemente) and for creating the framework of today’s modern minor league farm system
