---Justin Rose---

This quote highlights the importance of confidence and boldness in the realm of sports and, by extension, in life. It suggests that a strong belief in oneself can be a crucial factor in achieving success, even if it appears arrogant or overconfident to others. Embracing such self-assurance can propel individuals to push their limits, take risks, and ultimately excel. It also hints at cultural differences in how confidence is perceived, celebrating a fearless attitude as a necessary trait for greatness in athletics.

Maybe that'd make you feel better too. — David Mitchell

What baseball managers did do, on occasion, beginning in the early 1980s, was hire some guy who knew how to switch on the computer.

I put water to boil, got out cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, lard, flour, sugar, salt, saleratus, vinegar, and all the other things for apple pies. We both laughed happily.
