Jack Buck after Gibson's home run in the 1988 World Series Game 1: "I don't believe that I just saw! I don't believe what I just saw!"Insanity, in the sense of mental instability, is something we tend to steer clear of at all costs. We do this because we are uneased by the unpredictable, especially when we feel it may cause us harm. Yet, insanity as an outrageous or amazingly unpredictable event is something we all gravitate towards. Because the mundane is not social media worthy. We want the shocking. That's what entertains us. The routine plays bore us, yet comfort tricks us into thinking it's all we want for our own lives. If greatness is your goal, be willing for people to think your dedication is insane. Most people are too scared to be obsessed. But in order to be extraordinary, you can't be ordinary.
