hitting home runs
It's hard to beat a person who never gives up. Every strike brings me closer to the next home run. “ The only real game, I think, in the world is baseball.” “ Every kid dreams of playing in the major leagues.” “ I’d play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump all the time.” “ It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” “ You just can’t beat the person who never gives up.” Every kid dreams of hitting a home run. “ Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.” I’d play for half my salary if I could hit in this dump all the time. Every kid dreams of playing in the major leagues. You just can’t beat the person who never gives up. You just can't beat the person who never gives up. Every kid dreams of playing in the big leagues. Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world. The only real game, I think, in the world is baseball. Every kid dreams of being a home run hitter. " Every kid dreams of being a home run hitter." I think I was the best baseball player I ever saw. I’d give a year of my life if I could hit a home run on opening day of this great new park. I’m just going to keep playing until I can’t play anymore. |
