When I was in 4th grade our teacher
made us listen to a song that taught me a life lesson ;
It was about a little boy who went out to his
yard with a bat and a ball to play baseball with himself like a lot
of little boys do when they have nobody to play with. He would
throw the ball up in the air and try to hit it with the bat.
He said, I'm the greatest hitter in the world, nobody can
strike me out". So he threw the ball up in the air and he
swung, but he missed. So again he threw the ball up in the air and
swung and missed.
He said "Ok one more try I'm gonna hit it now". Then
he threw the ball up in the air and swung at it, but once again he
missed.
So he said ..... "Wow ,
I really am a good pitcher, I can strike out the greatest hitter
ever". :)
