“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou
'Joy is something worth sharing and learning about. Love instead of misery. In a game of failure, the Jays George Springer brings happiness to the ball park everyday.....When George gets excited he jumps like a kid. Little bunny jumps. Usually after a hit. Somebody noticed. Which is a shame cause often when a charming habit is pointed out the person will stop doing it, if they can. Beware of that if there is a beloved tick you enjoy in someone you know. You might want to keep it to yourself...... the barely Oakland A’s must have picked up on George’s bunny tick and while George hopped for joy on 3rd, grinning into his own dugout the A’s 3rd basemen snuck up behind waiting to time his tag. A inch up off the bag was all it took. https://sometimesitrains.substack.com/p/jumping-for-george
Brilliant BB. I could not put this much better. (And that Maya Angelou quote is one I use all the time in my training programs.)

Beautiful ⚾️
“…still feels like a hand on my shoulder.”
Chills man. Chills
Baseball isn’t the game, it’s the feeling.
Back with my Dad and just a kid learning how to keep a book, and how it matters even more now.
