Peter as George Orwell

I have dedicated a large part of this series to philosophy. Can one create peace and harmony through war and fear? It is not an easy concept to grasp. In my mind, what was good enough for George Orwell and George W. Bush is certainly worth trying on a baseball field.

I am not so stupid as to believe true peace has been achieved. Joseph Stalin achieved peace in the old Soviet Union only to have it rupture after he was long gone and the threat of terror was also gone. But I am selfish enough not to care about what happens after I leave the baseball field.

The concept of Inventive Ejections was a large part of achieving this harmony. I want to close this series with one final personal example from about two years ago. Each reader needs to decide for himself where an ejection would do the most good for his career. I am attaching this example to guide you into thinking along those lines.

Customer service goes too far

This scenario will take a while to set up. It comes from real life NCAA-level ball, and unlike war stories around a bar, the undercurrents and politics are difficult to understand.
