It kills me to lose if I’m a
troublemaker, and I don’t think that my temper makes me one then it because I
can’t stand losing. That’s the way I am about winning, all I ever wanted to do
was finish first
Baseball is like a poker game nobody
wants to quit when he losing nobody wants you to quit when you’re ahead
A very good job on this. :)
