The Giants Playoff Run
Their season and playoff success has been one of the great sports stories of recent memory. I have been a baseball fan my entire life, and this year’s Giants team is one of the least likely champions that I have ever seen. When I watch them play, I am struck by how unusually “normal” they are. There are no real obvious “all-stars.” Nobody is going to hit 50 home runs for this team and they only have one pitcher who even comes close to being an all-star. Most championship teams these days have at least 2 or 3 of those guys on their pitching staff and 2 or 3 in their everyday lineup. While talking with a friend of mine the other day, and trying to figure out their key to success, it occurred to me that the same things that make them successful work for my clients and their success as well.
