* Now pitching: Hall of Fame catcher Bench

June 17, 2008

How to Handle Life’s PitchesJohnny Bench was published a book that seems to be a combination of memoir, and motivation/self-help.

According to this article in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Catch Every Ball: How to Handle Life’s Pitches (Orange Frazer Press) “looks at how diligence, dedication and perseverance describe a common trait of most professionals and high achievers: pluck.”

Pluck? That reminds me of that famous line from the first episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show in which Lou Grant (played by Edward Asner) tells a feisty Moore, “You’ve got spunk,” which she takes as a compliment until he snarls, “I hate spunk!”
