Are there parallels between life and baseball?

Question:Interesting question. I never gave this any thought, but I'll try to answer.

In both, you can strike out, but get to come up to try again.
In both, you seek a home run, but are happy just to advance.
In both, if you change your stance, it could make a big difference.
In both, you may have a good season or a bad season, but it is what you do over your lifetime that means the most.

Rounding all the bases is like going full circle in life.

Both are mostly really boring with seconds of excitement and then it's over.

after rounding all bases you are back to square one..

not sure because if you have four balls walking would hurt.
if you hit the ball out of the park you lost the ball. And if you life is as boreing as it is to play your out in life.

Although baseball is a team sport that cannot be played alone, it has the unique structure that allows the offense to appear one person at a time and have the individual make the difference when they come to bat. In parallel, life cannot be sustained alone but as an individual we have it within ourselves to singularly stand and make a difference, both in our life and the lives of others.

Here are some parallels:

1. Don't expect to hit a home run every time you come up to bat.

2. You can't win the game on your own. You need the support of your team.

3. Keep trying. It ain't over until its over.

4. Even if you only get one hit every three times at bat you will still make it to the Hall of Fame.

5. Your hustle on the playing field can turn a bad situation into a positive outcome.

6. Even the best players have their slumps. If you're in a slump that doesn't diminish your value to the team.
