Baseball and Life

I am a big Cincinnati Reds fan, in fact I watch more games then I should, and the great thing about baseball is during the season there's a game every night.  So, a baseball season is like life,  you live it every day.  When your team is playing well you are happy and content, but let them get in a loosing streak and every thing seems to go wrong.  Much like life.

If you love the game as I do then you know what I am talking about.  Some times in your everyday life things go well, which means you're nicer to your friends and family and your outlook is bright.  But let one little thing go wrong and you think the whole world has got it in for you.  Much like baseball.

It's my conclusion that baseball and life are somewhat intertwined.  Baseball is a sport that let's you live an alternate life in the midst of your real one.  The worst thing about this scenario is if both are going bad, well, you know what I mean.  The thing about a baseball team is your fortunes can suddenly turn on a 3-1 fastball that goes sailing into the stands and all is well with the world.  The real problem with your real life is you never seem to get enough turns at the plate.  Just be prepared in both baseball and life that when your time comes at the plate that you are poised to hit one out of the park.
