Emotion is often conditioned out of players in pro ball. Early in my career, I sprinted back to the dugout after my initial spring training pitching appearance. An older teammate started laughing.
"Oh, you run back to the dugout. That's cool," he said with sarcasm, the official language of minor league baseball.
"Yeah, it's called hustling," I replied.
"Save the hustling for when it actually matters. That right there is just eye-wash."
He then told me to watch some of the big leaguers pitch.
"They're all business," he said. "The only place they run is to the bar after the game."

Hope you enjoy!
