The struggle of 'making it' in a public career, be it sports or the arts,
is nowhere more clear and exposed than in baseball. The heirarchy of the
minor leagues, of working one's way up the ladder towards the majors, is
a slow process. And very few make it all the way.
This song resonates with me, with my own struggles as
a performer. It's one my favorite songs that Richard and I wrote for the
Bobs, but it somehow never made it onto a Bobs recording. Now it's here,
and also on a charitable compilation of baseball songs called 'Nolan Ryan,
A musical tribute'.
