Chapters

I want to conclude with a message to the players in Major League Baseball right now and the young kids who may be starting out with a dream just like I had. You know, this is a game that requires sacrifice, dedication, discipline and focus. You know, it's a game of failure. It teaches you teamwork. It teaches you humility. The one common thread with all of us here on stage is that we understand that there's no one individual bigger than the game. The game goes on, and it goes on because of the great fans we have. So take care of it, protect it, respect it. Don't take the time you have to play for granted.
