If and when you strike out (get something wrong or something doesn't go as planned), go to the dugout and reflect. Before you know it, you'll be up at bat again—a little wiser than the time before.
Dr. Scott Wright, Johns Hopkins Medicine
If you can’t make the play, quickly pass the ball to someone who can.

“If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.” I’m pretty sure Yogi Berra was talking about goals of care.
Dr. Jared Rubenstein, Texas Children's Hospital
Believe in yourself like Kike Hernandez, be a good leader like Correa and Cora, and remain kind until the end like Roberto Clemente. In summary, have a Puerto Rican on your team. Be inclusive.
Dr. Sarai Ambert-Pompey
Patience.
Dr. Margaret Chisolm, Johns Hopkins Medicine
"The devil is in the details."
Dr. Mark Stephens
Routine plays aren’t always routine.
Dr. Mike Fingerhood, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Talk to each other.
Dr. Jess Colburn, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Probability is only that—it's not certainty. Exceptions can and will happen.
Dr. Colleen Christmas, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Keep your eye on the patient (ball)!
Dr. Jeff Millstein, Penn Medicine

Dr. Aline Charabaty, Johns Hopkins Medicine
Professor Berra’s Maxim: “Predictions are difficult, especially about the future.”
Dr. Daniel Pomerantz
It's easy to score a run (get an infection) when the runner is on third. I use this to explain to patients with multiple risk factors why they're getting recurrent UTI's. Then we try to figure out how to get the runner back to second or first base or block the path to home plate.
Dr. Schuel Shohan
Going the distance for a patient is a big achievement, more significant and less fleeting than hitting a home run.
Dr. Chase Webber
As Yogi Berra said: "In baseball, you don’t know nothing."
Dr. Michael Sinha
A job can be fun, with things that are new and different happening every day. But it takes dedication, practice, teamwork, and having good mentors/coaches to learn and grow into the best you can be.
