“A lot of people are afraid to hold people accountable. If you don’t hold people accountable, you don’t have discipline. If you don’t have discipline, then what are your standards? What do you have?” Michael Malone

Will Clark homered off Nolan Ryan at the cavernous Astrodome in his very first big league at-bat… I know it says 400, but is it just me or does the fence look like it’s about ten miles away? What an absolute TANKjob by @WillClark22 off an all-time great.

“All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street folks will say, ‘There goes the greatest hitter that ever lived.’”

Ted Williams, one of the game’s true icons, was born on this date in 1918.

Robin Yount won an MVP as a shortstop in 1982, then won a second one as a center fielder in 1989.

Changing positions midcareer and staying that good almost never happens.

He finished with 3,142 hits.

"We missed you very much, welcome back college football." 🥹

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Nick Saban explains one of the biggest threats to continued success.

"Success is not continuous. Just because you're having success doesn't mean you're going to continue to have success."

Past success guarantees nothing. You have to earn it every day.

"When you have complacency and you get satisfied, it creates a blatant disregard for doing the right things."

And here's the danger:
"You start to resent the very things that got you where you were."

You can't resent the process. Success starts with showing up, doing the work, and living the details.

"We pride ourselves in hard work. 'I resent that. I resent the hard work that you're making us do. Why are we running sprints?' Well, we always ran them. This is exactly what we did last year on this day. 'Well, I don't think we need to do that anymore.'"

Complacency is the enemy of excellence.

You combat it with a mindset of growth - never satisfied and always earning.

Jackie Robinson stole home 19 times in his AL or NL career, including a famous dash in Game 1 of the 1955 World Series.

He finished with 197 stolen bases and led the NL in steals in 1949.

Larry Doby broke the American League color barrier just 11 weeks after Jackie Robinson's debut.

He stepped in on July 5, 1947, as the first Black player in AL history, and was a World Series champion by 1948.

Vida Blue getting the sign, 1971. He would go on to have a 1.82 ERA over 312 innings with 301 strikeouts to win MVP and Cy Young.
