Baseball and Life

Baseball is a complicated game, just like life. A lot of people think of baseball as a no-brainer, simple sport and some look at life the same way. When you really think about it both require diverse strategies and decisions that effect the outcome of a particular event and eventually the final score. Do I throw this batter a curve; how do I approach an adversary in this situation? How do I line up my defense? Different ballparks have different dimensions. In both baseball and life, spring training is essential to accomplishing a winning season. Both require teamwork. You can figure out other similarities if you want to. There is one big difference I can see and it is a big difference. In baseball you can always say, "Wait till next year."
