Wisdom, Courtesy of Peter Moylan

In the event that you’re unaware, side-arming Brave Peter Moylan has a blog. To say that it (i.e. the blog) represents a “literary achievement” would be an overstatement. To say that his most recent post, however — in which he documents his transition from Twins farmhand to weekend-leaguer to actual Major Leaguer — to say that it “contains wisdom” would be entirely accurate.
Specifically, it’s this line I’m talking about:
Nobody from Australia gets a second chance.
If you’re not immediately roused, try saying it aloud in the voice of Cobra Kai sensei John Kreese. That might work.
In any case, I don’t know if it’s true, this thing about Australians. But it seems true.
