don't let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game

Sometimes people ask me
What do you do in the winter when there's no baseball?
I smile and tell them
I stare out the window
And wait for spring


Back then, my idol was Bugs Bunny, because I saw a cartoon of him playing ball - you know, the one where he plays every position himself with nobody else on the field but him? Now that I think of it, Bugs is still my idol. You have to love a ballplayer like that.
