THIS IS EATON BASEBALL
12 REDS OVER 12 YEARS WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL WILL TO WIN

Persistence

Craig Ayers

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."

--President Calvin Coolidge

Character

Mike Carrasco

"Sports do not build character. They reveal it."

--Legendary basketball coach John Wooden

Fire

Dusty Dominguez

"I never could stand losing. Second place didn't interest me. I had a fire in my belly."

--Ty Cobb

 

Work Ethic

Shane Dyer

"Things may come to those who wait, but only things left by those who hustle."

--President Abraham Lincoln

Consistency

Adam Geisick

"If you don't think baseball is a big deal, then don't do it. But if you do, do it right. In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers."

--Hall of Fame Pitcher Tom Seaver

Undefeatable

Logan Hall

"In the ring, I never really knew fear."

--Boxing's sole lifetime undefeated heavyweight champion of the world Rocky Marciano

 

Exaggerating the Importance

Bo McLavey

"Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It's a struggle for supremacy, a survival of the fittest. Baseball is not unlike war."

--Ty Cobb

Desire for Perfection

Jeff Meyers

"You don't have to play 'perfect', you have to try 'perfect'."

--Tony La Russa

"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."

--Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi

Overcoming All Odds

Josh Noblitt

"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."

--Michael Jordan

 

Presence

Kyle Ottoson

"His presence on the battlefield made the difference of forty thousand men."

--First Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, referring to Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte

Team First

Chris Swain

"...I am a warrior and a member of a team...I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade..."

--U.S. Army Soldier's Creed

Anything To Win

Garrett Walker

"Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything."

--Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi
