The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> -Confucius


He starts the wind-up
He throws it down the middle
And the batter swings

The ball is hit hard
The ball hits the pitcher's head
He falls to the ground

He is unconscious
Lying on the ground, helpless
Medics rush to help

He is motionless
Blood is dripping down his head
The crowd is silent

Both teams are worried
All eyes are glued to the mound
He is getting help

He is on the cart
Being wheeled off the ball field
He waves to the crowd

The crowd applause's
Both teams pray for him, "Get well"
A frightening moment

This piece is important to me because I'm a pitcher myself and the reality is that this could happen to me. I'm lucky to survive all games that I play.
