A catcher could be behind the plate and no baserunner has been on all night, but the one time there is he has to be on high alert. Once he hears the word 'RUNNER' he has to react and try to throw him out at second. A baseball player has to be locked into the game twenty-four seven to give his team the best chance to win. It is easy to lose focus when you haven't gotten a ball all game or are sitting the bench but when you get your shot, you better be ready or the ball will expose you to everyone.

He just wanted to be in the atmosphere of the wealthy although he wasn’t able to afford any showings. He went to New York to live out his dream; he was only able to do so because he stole money from the stock company.
Players are getting payed enough money by the teams to play good in games without using performance enhancing drugs. No teams are paying their players to cheat the game and risk getting cought when they invested in the players.

Zeitoun didn’t think the storm would be that bad in order for him to leave. They begged Zeitoun to go but he was much to proud, so they promised to call each other every day until the storm was over.
The Joads and the other traveling families would soon change their mind when they see that California was a place of despair and poverty amongst migrant workers. While the other members of the Joad family felt the change in mood, Grandpa, Connie, and Rose of Sharon most outwardly shared their changed thoughts on California. Grandpa, who never reached California, was overenthusiastic about going at first, then after a night’s time changed his mind. Connie, with the high hopes of getting a job in radio, broke under the pressure of having a baby and a wife to take care of, and took off. Rose of Sharon, looking forward to starting anew in California with her husband and unborn baby, lost her passion for California when her husband left.
