"Who are you all about?"

Baseball is full of individual statistics. I have a friend who’s like a walking encyclopedia of this player’s stats and the year and how it compared with another player from that time. Players aren’t the only ones with stats. Teams have stats, also, because baseball is a unique combination of individual and team performance metrics. It seems most of the attention and headlines and stories are about individuals rather than teams what with so much celebrity worship going on today.

Our nephew, Dan Uggla, could certainly be one of those celebrities as he has been among the league leaders in home runs, doubles, slugging percentage, and RBIs for a lot of the season. Recently in an interview with USA TODAY, Dan was asked by a reporter about how much he watches those stats. Dan replied, "I let you guys keep up with the stats. I just keep swinging because I want us to win."

That’s refreshing, isn’t it? A person capturing headlines who is more concerned about his team winning. Sounds like Dan Uggla is all about team as he listens to life and makes a life, not just a living, doesn’t it?
