As the self-appointed "philosopher" of my baseball class, I'm always delighted when the conversation delves into "the big picture."
Today, it was this question: Would you rather be the Hall of Fame player on a team that never reaches the post season and World Series? Or, would you prefer to be the less recognized player who comes up with an unforgettable moment of greatness that touches fans everywhere?
P.S. Philosophers aren't looking for right or wrong answers.
I'd rather be the 'average' player (I'm still in the majors!) with the big moment in the World Series (just being in the series would be fantastic.) This was an easy choice for me. (I'd rather be rated 50 in tennis (high enough I think to still make a good living) than have all the stress that goes with being number 1. And as #50 could still probably have that big moment.)
ReplyDeleteI’m the latter definitely!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the being the unknown hero, especially if he is wise enough to quit on top.
