If! On June 18, 2014, Airwaves and the Internet shone in collective strangely in one of the largest Athletic festivals in modern history. Clayton Kershaw records 15 strikes of a 107-pitch no-hitter which many think of the best examination of a period of time. The Asterisk of This Epic Dodgers Game is The one wrong in the seventh inning That keeps official recognition as a “perfect game”: When the stones Distorting Districted the ball toward the Mound Ramirez thrown at the first base, and Dickenson did it.
If Ramirez just made the play at first! If the coach just didn’t replace the recovery Ramirez a inning at first! Los Angeles is a broken right finger away from celebration of perfection.
Baseball has a great history of quantity counting. No professional sport consisting of numbers and statistics in the way of baseball. Statistics are a part of the game as dirt, brick and grass. Although baseball collected data since the late 1800s, statistical analysis of our current game in 1977 to introduce Sabbermetrics.
It is critical to the game: What else do we recognize success if most of what we see is failure? The best baseball hitters are those who have just failed 70% of the time; In other words, there is a batting average in .300. These perennials all stars experience dissatisfaction and humility in one out of 7 of each 10 display plate. In what other profession can you fail 70% of the time and counting one of the greats? Think of the mental strength needed to receive the failure as part of the game and focus to see each other for a moment to fail.
We need a similar kind of thinking in life to count the amount of our failure at the rate.
A “perfect game” is described by the big baseball in the league as a game where a team focuses on a victory that lasts a minimum of nine housing and no basis players. It is rarely because failure – in pitchers as well as batters – is expected as something of course. Francis Thomas Vincent Jr., the eighth Commissioner of the MLB, quoted saying: “We are taught to be more likely to people without fail. Sport, considered mistakes to be part of the game, about its strength.”
On June 19, 2014, Baseball fans and commentators praised the dramatic fashion Kershaw, but in a bad news tone recorded by the full team mark: 0-0-1. Zero running. Zero hits. An error. A base runner. An imperfect game. If!
The joint hope for perfection is understandable. Most people are afraid to fail.
Parades are not made for runner-up. Scores were not provided for the test. Work promotion not offered for making mistakes. Putting the fullness in one step comforts collective anxiety – but the opportunity is forbidden – to accept failure as an important part of life. For an individual, failure is a chance to grow and become a better person. For a business, failure is a chance to change success and change of success. The opposite of perfection is not failure. It accepts the opportunity to learn from offenses. Winston Churchill used to hold back, “The greatest, ‘nothing is done but perfection,’ can be written paralysis.”
Nearly until the day, 75 years before Kershaw’s hits, the sports world witnessed the danger of paralysis. In June 1939, after a week of the world wide trial, Lou Gehrig announced the world that he had an Omyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This notice occurred in the fall of his 36th birthday. It represents the end of the bad baseball career in Gehrig. But 75 years later, what is remembered about this person not his career average .340, seven hour all-star stampigs or two times the league of MVP. Sablemetrics cannot explain the amount of gehrig in sport. What endures are what statistics can do: his grace. His humility. His courage to deal with loss. Remembering is his response to the last “failure”: a failure of the upper and lower connections that finally lead to muscle weakness and atrophy. In opposition to a disease of a deadly fatal, the Gehgreans that his teammates, professional members of the MLB and its fans by expressing himself “the most useful man on the face of the earth.”
Similarly, the Sablemetrics rely on the true size of Kershaw’s No-Hitter. What statistics or numbers answer Kershaw does not show the error. After Ramirez’s mistake, his hat was placed at the base of the pitching mound of Kershaw. As I looked from principles, I didn’t hear what Kershaw said to Ramirez while he took it, left and handed the hat with his accused partner. But his body language appears to be humble, accepting and supporting, as the baseball lesson is known, that the mistakes are a great part of the game. To live in mistakes and think “if” bring disappointment and blame, but to accept and accept imperfections with final success.
If we can all be perfect.
