As a follow up to my previous post of June 21.
I was reading the recent edition of Sports Illustrated magazine where they were catching up with various people in the "where are they now issue". It has great articles on Yogi Berra, the actors from Major League and others. The one that caught my attention was on Sir Roger Bannister, the first person to run a sub 4 minute mile. The SI article quotes from his book, "Four Minute Mile" and says "the Greek ideal was that sport should be a preparation for life in general".
If it is golf, softball or little league the game should be played hard, but always fair, always to the rules, and always with good sportsmanship. It seems what you see on the playing fields is a reflection of the person.
