“Charlie was a tremendous left-handed hitter who was also able to bunt, steal a hundred bases a year, and cover center field as well as anyone before him or since…he was like Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Tris Speaker rolled into one.” -Buck O’Neil; "If Satch and I were pitching on the same team, we 'd clinch the pennant by the fourth of July and go fishing until World Series time." -Dizzy Dean; “One Time he hit a line drive right past my ear.

Greg Maddux, was he the best pitcher of his generation? Greg Maddux off the baseball diamond may look like a high school history teacher to some, but it was his work on the mound that earned him the nickname the professor. While Greg Maddux may not exactly fit what some say the best pitcher in baseball is supposed to look like it’s his statistics that say for the better part of his career he was.

Lawrence Peter Berra, more commonly known as “Yogi,” is considered to be one of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game. With over ten all-star appearances and ten World Series titles, Yogi would go on to be one of the best catchers in the history of the sport. Berra’s journey to the big leagues was far from easy. There were many challenges that Yogi faced prior to his induction into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Even though he dealt with many obstacles throughout his life, he was able to lean on his Catholic faith for comfort, which allowed him to press on and persevere.
The Great Bambino, The Sultan of Swat, some of the many names of the well known, Babe Ruth. As one of the greatest baseball players in history, holding and sharing over 60 records, a 7 times World Series Champion, and 2 time World Series All Star, he definitely did not have the life as most would think.

Babe Ruth had one of the most unusual childhoods, yet still became one of the greatest baseball players to live.

Success, a word we hear everyday and live our lives to achieve, but what does it mean to you? Throughout this school year, while exploring success I have learned what success means to me.
