It's Hard To Beat A Person Who Never Gives Up

Yesterday I ran the Spring Lake Five, the largest five-mile race in the country and likely the most popular. The field was stacked with diversity in both age and pace.  Directly in front of me was a man wearing a navy blue tee shirt with the words “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up” on the back. The author of that quote? Babe Ruth. And as I ran past the runner, I couldn’t help but think about those words and their meaning not only for me but this current Yankee team. My reflection on these words continued for the remainder of the day, leading into the two-game set with the Kansas City Royals.  These Yankees are incredible; as incredibly diverse as the running field in Spring Lake, New Jersey; committed, focused and yes, a team that truly doesn’t give up.

You can start with guys like DJ LeMahieu and end with Cameron Maybin and all those guys in between, who frame this team that never gives up.  “(We are playing) really well. The focus each and every day on the game and on playing winning baseball and everyone pulling their weight and the mantra of doing your job, they’ve really taken to that. A lot of them have done it really well,” said Aaron Boone as reported NJ.com.

The Yankees have been battling back to win games, blowing out games with truly weaker teams, and walking off in grand style. At the helm has been Luke Voit, who has really stepped up and lead this team with his bat and passion for winning. His 470-foot blast in the first of two against the Royals really made a mark not only for the Yankees but for his home state of Missouri.  You can’t help but like the guy who was considered an afterthought if not for his New York pickup late last season.
“It’s unreal, man. It’s so much fun. All of the guys in the locker room have each other’s back and every day it’s like I see something different and something special happens and I just can’t wait to see what this team is going to keep doing and it’s fun and that’s a credit to our coaches for letting us be ourselves and everyone is going out there and doing their things,” said Voit as reported NJ.com

On this unofficial kickoff to summer, it’s hard to believe we are the team we are today unless you really think about how this quote has manifested itself into Yankee lore and clearly into this 2019 team.  It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up; especially if that person represents a group of guys who refuse to lose.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend and enjoy some good ‘ol baseball!
