"When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself
the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and
meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices." -

• In the Battle of the Bulge during WWII, American soldiers used their knowledge of
baseball to determine if other soldiers were either fellow Americans or German infiltrators
in American uniforms.
• Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams missed almost five full baseball seasons while serving as
a fighter pilot in WWII and the Korean War, and still managed to hit 521 home runs.
• Lefty slugger Prince Fielder was actually born a right-handed hitter, but his father forced him to
bat lefty saying he'd thank him for it later.
