AXE believes in checking on the condition of injured opponents. AXE believes players should applaud opponents after they make great defensive plays. AXE believes players can get better with age. AXE believes taking winter BP with a cheap bat helps to hit summer homers with an expensive bat. AXE believes in running out routine grounders and lazy fly balls, no matter how frustrated I am.

AXE believes in the magical moment of recognition after contact on a "no-doubter" home run. AXE believes in catchers who talk junk and pitchers who throw it. AXE believes in infielders who think getting dirty is part of the job description. AXE believes in fast outfielders who do not hug the lines or play to deep. AXE believes rattling bats can wake them up, and uncrossing them can avoid bad luck. AXE believes in wiping the morning dew off a ball, and squinting into the sunset. AXE believes in saving an equipment catalog until the next issue replaces it. AXE believes photos; autographed balls and scorebook pages can be better than trophies and t-shirts.
