The Ballgame
As I was driving home from
work one day, I stopped to watch
a local Little League baseball
game that was being played in a
park near my home. As I sad down
behind the bench on the first-base
line, I asked one of the boys what
the score was. "We're behind 14 to
nothing, "he answered with a smile.
"Really", I said. ""I have to say
you don't look very discouraged."
"Discouraged?" the boy asked with a
puzzled look on his face. "Why should
we be discouraged? We haven't been
up to bat yet."
