“Kindness is easy and it’s free…I want to be inclusive with everyone, no matter race, no matter gender. Really where you’re from, what language you speak. It’s not hard to be inclusive and welcoming and happy. I think it could change the world.”
Mookie Betts describes his nerves in Game 7 of the World Series and what he told himself before the final out.
"That 9th inning is probably the most nervous I've ever been on a baseball field...As Yoshi was throwing the ball, I was literally talking to myself like 'Be nasty, Mook. Be nasty right now.'"
Even the best in the world need to remind themselves of their greatness.
When nerves make the game speed up, your inner voice is a tool to slow it down.

The Mariners are boat-racing the Blue Jays. After Josh Naylor's two-run homer in the seventh, Seattle leads, 9-3. The Rogers Centre crowd that was so hot at the beginning of the game has gone silent. An ignominious way to start the ALCS.
