The New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies deserve hardy congratulations for a very well played World Series. There managers, Joe Girardi and Charlie Manuel, both have the acuity to bring different personalities, temperament and egos, into one group of men playing baseball as a team. Both teams do have some large personalities and egos to assuage.

I always liked baseball watching a game, whether it is a professional game or the local little league. Each player focused on what they have to do for the team to win; of course with the young players watching them watch a butterfly in the outfield is just as much fun as seeing Mariano Riveria or Cliff Lee pitch; or Hideki Matsui and Chase Utley hit the ball. The coaches watching their players and developing the strengths of each member so they play to their potential. The strategy of when to steal a base or when not to comes with studying the timing of a pitch; its follow through and how far a lead you can get before being noticed by the pitcher and catcher.
