Advice Grandpa Hardy gave to Awsumb in May 2013. Duane was a great example of this... And I hope Awsumb remembers this forever. Most importantly that in baseball when you get a hit, you have to just put your head down and start running. There not time to stand there and watch the ball. And you waste time by watching said ball. The goal it to put your head down and just run as fast as you can to first base... because that is when you are "in the game."
I am not sure if Grandpa Hardy knew this... but it's sometime we have been nagging Awsumb about since T-ball. He just can't let that ball go without keeping an eye on it and often will loose a spot on base because he didn't just put that head down and run as fast as he could, get to first base, then see where how the play, plays out. Sure there are times to look back, times to take a break and absorb what it happening at the moment. There are also times to look ahead. But there are many times we need to just hit that ball and keep on running!
