It's not fear of striking out that makes me reluctant to step up to the
plate. It's the fear of getting hit in the head by a 90 mph fastball, the
pitcher coming off of the mound to stomp me with her cleats while I am
down, the rest of the opposing team rushing out of the dugout hurling
insults as they kick me and spit on me, while all along the crowd in the
stands is cheering them on and laughing at my failure. So, no, it's not
the fear of striking out that keeps me from stepping up to the plate.
