Final lesson – failure

Be humble. This is a hard game. The players who succeed are the ones who learn from their failures and then toss them aside. Don’t dwell. Move on. Focus on the next play.

– Señor Molina

Señor Molina’s final lesson is the mental one. What game embodies failure more than baseball?

Life?
