My dad said to me growing up: 'When all is said and done, if you can count all your true friends on one hand, you're a lucky man.'
I don't have a grand master plan, but I try to be thoughtful when I can and also silly. It's part of the fun.
I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.
There's a touch of the gambler in anybody really competitive and somebody that's willing to concede that to succeed, sometimes you need to cut corners and to make bold choices.
