William Barnes Matter Quotations

In Dixie Youth, everybody plays no matter what, ... You play tournament ball, and you don't. I really think kids realize that and know they've got to get better. In Dixie Youth, there's really no incentive to bust your butt, work hard and get better. You're going to play no matter what. I don't disagree with that, but I do think a kid needs to realize 'I'm not as good as Joe, so I need to get better.'
