they are similar, and in some ways each is unique.
In this essay, I will compare and examine each of
the couples, and try to give some insight as to
why none of the relationships worked out. The

America Shouldn T

One of the generalities about people involved with
and within the game of baseball is that they
criticize the game, themselves, and their
techniques. One of the biggest critics of the game

they are in a slump when they go 0 for 20. They
say things like, ? I? m stinking it up, ? and just
keep continuing in a self-flagellation filled with
expletives. Yet they forget to realize that the
season is 162 games long and what is a measly 0

loss of their first-born son as well as from the
