When it's time to correct somebody, close the door. When it's time to praise somebody, open it wide. Public humiliation has a short shelf life and so does the leader who uses it.

Today in 1914: 19-year-old Babe Ruth launched his pro career with the minor league Baltimore Orioles as a left-handed pitcher.

In his first game, he threw a six-hit shutout, and went 2-for-4 at the plate.

Ruth played for the Orioles until July 9, when he and two other players were sold to the Red Sox for $25,000 because the Orioles’ owner needed the money.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

The best players are students of the game.

They know greatness comes form being humble enough to accept coaching.
• "Just be coachable."
"Just take the instruction."

You can't coach someone who thinks they've already arrived.

"Nobody hit the ball as far as Josh Gibson.
I didn't see the one he is supposed to have hit out of Yankee Stadium.
But I saw him hit a ball one night in the Polo Grounds that went between the upper deck and lower deck, and out of the stadium.
Later the night watchman came in and asked:
'Who hit the damn ball out there?'
He said it landed on the 'El'.
It must have gone 600 feet."
Buck Leonard.
"Yes sir, I've seen a lot of colored boys who should have been playing in the majors.
First of all I'd name this guy Josh Gibson for a place for sure.
He's one of the greatest backstops in history, I think.
Any team in the big leagues could use him right now."
Carl Hubbell.
They were teammates first with the Pittsburgh Crawfords.
Josh Gibson was the greatest hitter I ever pitched to and I pitched to everybody.
There’s been some great hitters – Williams, DiMaggio, Musial, Mays, Mantle.
But none of them was as great as Josh.”
Satchel Paige
Satchel Paige recalled that advertisements used to call them:
“The Greatest Battery in Baseball!!"
Josh Gibson, guaranteed to knock two home runs Satchel Paige, guaranteed to strike out the first nine men.”
“And both of us would do it, too." Satchel Paige would say.
"Of course the stories about Satchel Paige are legendary!!
And some of them are even true!"
Buck O'Neil.
