Great article. Hustle certainly pertains to life in general. Most of the time, opportunities don't just fall into your lap. Takes hustle to make it!

59 HR off of 54 pitchers.... who is the lucky one that would have been 60?

I really enjoyed the nuance in this piece. You can’t just sprint around 1st only to find yourself hung up on a long single. Hustle, plus awareness. Rose had that. We share a birthday, he was short (there’s no way he was 5’11”), and played hard, so I looked up to him as a kid. I didn’t have power, so legging out grounders was my Little League specialty. I had a bunt home run when I was 10. It took three throwing errors, but I just ran and heard the coach yelling, “Go, go, go!” Funniest part was me practicing my bunt technique in the batter’s box after getting the sign. Coach came over and said, “Okay Brian, save it for the at bat.” These are things you never forget, and man, you have certainly remembered a lot!
