Feels like spring...

Ok everyone, I'm give this blogging this a run on a regular basis. (At least the third or fourth time I've written that).

I'm going to feature a famous quote (or not so famous) and work off of it as we start counting down to the start of baseball season.

So we start with Brooklyn Dodger great Roy Campanella:

"You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you, too." 



The Three-time National League MVP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Campanella) sums up a key element to success in any endeavor - enthusiasm. He perhaps was one of the greatest catchers in baseball history and this, I'm sure, was one of the keys to his success.


Even after he suffered a career-ending car accident which paralyzed him from the waist down in the late 1950s, he still had a reputation and upbeat and enthusiastic man. 


Let's hope the little boy (or little girl) comes out of each of us a little bit each day.
