My Older Kids Are Fantastic People. It

I Never Followed Baseball Very Much. As A Kid, I Never Followed Sports.

I Accrued Anger From People's Low Opinion Of Me And My Work, And For The Work I Might Be Capable Of.

All My Friends Were Going Off To Be Professionals, And I Said I Wanted To Be An Actor.

I Had No Idea What I Wanted To Do With My Life, So Nothing Of What I Was Studying Seemed To Fit. I Know Now That I Should Have Taken Advantage Of That Time And That I Missed A Great Deal Of The Opportunity To Educate Myself.

Baseball Was A Metaphor For America, Both Here And In Terms Of How It Was Understood By The Rest Of The World.
