Ty Cobb: What I Would Do If I Could Do Life Over Again

In honor of the baseball playoffs, which are currently underway and have been exciting to watch, I thought it would be interesting to look at one of the greatest baseball players of all time, particularly his comments about what he would do if he could do life over - his comments are something we all can learn from today. He said:

"I was aggressive, perhaps too aggressive. Maybe I went too far. I always had to be right in any argument I was in. I always had to be first in everything. I do indeed think I would have done some things different. And if I had I believe I would have had more friends.”

Ty Cobb ended his career with the highest batting average in the history of Major League Baseball, a record he still holds, but it's rumored and his rivals and teammates alike despised him as a person.  Perhaps Cobb would have lowered his batting average a few percentage points in exchange for a more community?  I think we all might feel similar at the end of our lives.  Let's learn from Ty Cobb and pursue what matters - Christ above all else, family, friends, and living a life that leads others to worship Christ!!
