I was playing second base in this video...in Triple-A. There was nobody on. 2 outs. A ground ball looked like it was going to get through the middle... Until my teammate laid out and made one of the best diving plays I've ever seen. I actually caught it on my glasses. Looking back... One thing I always loved about baseball was watching my teammates do something incredible. A great diving play. A clutch hit. A strikeout in a big moment. I celebrated those moments almost as much as my own. I learned something from that. The best teammates don't see each other's success as competition. They see it as something worth celebrating. Ironically... When you genuinely enjoy seeing the people around you succeed... You usually become better yourself. Because you're no longer consumed with comparing. You're focused on winning together. I still smile every time I watch this clip. Not because I was in it. But because I got a front-row seat to watch one of my teammates make an unbelievable play. Enjoy this play with me as my teammates and I celebrate one of the best defensive plays I've ever seen. Thank you for reading. -Jermaine Curtis P.S. - I'm yelling "NASTY" because that play was nasty. P.P.S. - I miss playing in front of thousands.
