In the end, we are our choices." - Jeff Bezos, commencement speech at Princeton University, May 30, 2010 http://www.prnccton.cdu/main/ncwsiarchive/S27/52/51O99/ • In the Battle of the Bulge during WWII, American soldiers used their knowledge of baseball to determine if other soldiers were either fellow Americans or German infiltrators in American uniforms. • Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams missed almost five full baseball seasons while serving as a fighter pilot in WWII and the Korean War, and still managed to hit 521 home runs. • Lefty slugger Prince Fielder was actually born a right-handed hitter, but his father forced him to bat lefty saying he'd thank him for it later.
