Rick Warren's Parallels between Baseball and Life

April 3, 2010 Gary Bowles

In his Easter message tonight Rick Warren gave these parallels between Life and Baseball.

In both life and baseball you are judged by your stats. You can’t hide your failures. In baseball every time you come up to bat they list your average. You either hit the ball or you don’t. Just like in life we either succeed or we don’t.

In both life and baseball everybody falls short of perfection.

In both life and baseball we all have a lot of errors. We all drop the ball from time to time..

In both life and baseball there is always the possibility of a Miracle. In baseball there is no time limit. Even with two outs in the bottom of the ninth while down by 10 runs you still have a chance…Bob Brenly playing for the Giants in 1986 had 4 errors in one inning. He later hit two home runs in that same game…There is always the possibility of a Miracle.

Just random thoughts, Thats Why They Play The Game, The Word of God
