Swing For The Fences

I’m delivering a 1 hour presentation on Get Your September In Gear for Freedom 55 Financial with a theme of “Swing For The Fences”.

Here are a series of baseball quotes that I am including in the Power Point Presentation.

“A star works at being a star – that’s how you tell a star in baseball. He shows up night after night and takes pride in how brightly he shines. He’s Wilie Mays running so hard his hat keeps falling off; Ty Cobb sliding to stretch a single into a double; Lou Gehrig, after being fooled in his first two at-bats, belting the next pitch off the light tower because he’s taken the time to study the pitcher. Stars never take themselves for granted. That’s why they’re stars.”
– Jim Murray
