The key step for an infielder is the first one, but before the ball is hit.

The key to winning baseball games is pitching, fundamentals, and three run homers.

Love is sunshine, hate is shadow, Life is checkered shade and sunshine.

Sometimes there's no point in giving up.

Gnawing with my teeth my bonds in sunder, I gain'd my freedom.
