Saturday's Photo Hunt was on "Dreamin" I posted the picture below of my two youngest at a Mets game. I said a little bit about what how much my son enjoys baseball and is a huge Mets fan. Today he sent me a post on baseball and why he feels so passionately about the game. So here is an excerpt on baseball by "the self proclaimed #1 Mets fan."

"Baseball players are a rare breed...they accept that they will ALWAYS fail. Even the very best players only hits the ball 3 out of 10 times

Only ONE player has actually hit the ball 56 consecutive games,(not times, but games.) In my life i've failed countless times, but just like a baseball player, I smile each and everytime I walk back to the dugout .

The belief that you'll always have another at bat, another chance, another game is inspiring to me...some days you'll go on a hitting streak, some days you'll strike out every time, but you keep trying no matter what.

The best players in baseball get walked when they come up to bat, the best pitchers only pitch one every four games. No player can hit the ball every time. You have to rely on your team mates to help pull you through your mistakes, so that hopefully in the end all of you will win.

Being a Mets fan i've learned to enjoy the hard times, the good times, and the times where the team make you cry. The trick is you never let the good take over your thoughts just as you don't allow the negative to spiral you down...you just keep the hope and keep believin".
