We were on vacation when the World Series ended and I wanted to do a follow up on an earlier blog about the World Series.  Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox.  They thoroughly dominated the World Series!  They did everything that they needed to do to win the World Series.  From the top to the bottom of the lineup, they hit.  Each of the pitchers pitched very well and they did all of the little (and big) things that they needed to do to win.

Much has been made about their experience, but only 1/3 of their team was on the last Red Sox team to win the World Series.  I will admit that it was the most important 1/3 of the team, all of the team leaders.  I was most impressed with how well their younger players performed under pressure.  Pedroia, Ellsbury and Papelbon all played like they had been under that type of pressure for years.  Their preparation was unbelievable, every few years a team will have one or two young players that play very well in the World Series, it seemed like all of the youngsters for the Red Sox played well.  Including those not mentioned in my blog by name.

Somewhere along the way, these youngsters learned how to play the right way.  They also seemed to learn that if you are prepared, you shall not fear.  I think that is what I learned to try to incorporate into Real Estate.  Prepare to succeed, and don’t fear failure, nor success.  You have already prepared for it, so don’t fear it.  Once again, congratulations to the Boston Red Sox as well as the Colorado Rockies.
