MORAL: Practice Doesn't Make Perfect - Perfect Practice Makes Perfect


A ball was hit to over the head of baseball center fielder Jim Edmonds, surely destined to be a home run. Edmonds put his head down and sprinted for the outfield wall. As he neared the wall, rather than stopping to watch the ball become a home run, he ran faster and climbed the wall, making the catch, with his glove over the top of the fence. A great catch.

Afterwards, a reporter asked a team mate if that was the greatest catch he ever saw Edmonds make. The player responded, "No, I have seen that play hundreds of times. Before games Edmonds has a ball boy throw the ball to the top of the wall and Edmonds practices running up the wall to catch it."
