Quote by Steve Garvey

The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back.

Summary

This quote highlights the shift in mindset and priorities of ballplayers over time. In the past, the old ballplayer valued and prioritized the team they played for, represented by the name on the front of their jersey. Their focus was on their collective success as a team. However, the new ballplayer prioritizes their individual success, represented by the name on the back of their jersey. The quote suggests that there has been a transition from a team-oriented mentality to a more individualistic approach in today's ballplayers.

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste. Then can I drown an eye (unused to flow) For precious friends hid in death's dateless night, and weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe, and moan the expense of many a vanished sight. Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, and heavily from woe to woe tell over the sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, Which I new pay as if not paid before. But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, all losses are restored and sorrows end.

William Shakespeare
