Teamwork Pt. 2

I thought this would be a good follow up to my previous post on teamwork...gets the point across wonderfully well!

Sportscaster and former baseball great Ralph Keiner tells this story:

After the season in which I hit 37 home runs, I asked Pittsburgh Pirate general manager Branch Rickey for a raise. And he refused.

"I led the league in home runs," I reminded him.

"Where did we finish?" Rickey asked me.

"Last," I replied.

"Well," Rickey said, "we can finish last without you."
