Pass It On®
About The Greatest
The Greatest is all about perspective. Just when you think you are failing, when things seem to be going wrong a change of perspective shines a bright light of realization that you just might be succeeding in other ways.
It is a very simple concept but the key, of course was finding the right young actor to play the part. As you have seen, he is amazing. After countless takes throwing the ball up and missingwhich is harder than you might thinkhe never lost his zeal. The last scene was as strong as the first. Celebration by Kool and The Gang fittingly takes us from despair at strike three to euphoria and inspires us to embrace the value of Optimism as we face similar situations each day. After all, you might just be The Greatest.

RB from Canada JULY 16, 2013
When I was just a bit older than that, I was at bat near the end of the last little league playoff game of the season. Joe Carter was my hero at the time for hitting the home run that won the World Series of '93. I wanted to be just like Carter. Lo and behold, I hit my very first ever home run that very game--and it was a grand slam! There were no words to describe how it felt. I can still remember the feeling in my hands from the vibration of the bat; I knew it was gonna be out of the park. Well, no one else on my team had even hit a home run that season, and they got so darn excited they mobbed me at the plate. When I got back up, of all things, the umpire said I hadn't actually tagged the plate. By that time, the dead ball had been thrown back into the park, and the pitcher had it in his glove. He was standing next to the talking umpire. The pitcher and umpire were standing between me and the plate, as I had already begun walking back to the dugout with my ebullient teammates. The umpire said that if I don't tag the plate and the pitcher tags me, I'll be out. I was standing so close to the pitcher that I knew it was no use, and he was blocking the plate. The pitcher tagged me, and the umpire called me out. There was outrage amongst my teammates, as well as the coaches and parents. Even the opposing team said, "Let the kid have the run! It's a dead ball!" and, "Don't take this away from him, it's his first home run!" But the umpire's call prevailed. I thought I made everyone so proud, and my dad didn't get to see many of my games; he was actually at that one. My parents told me that it was still a home run, no matter what anyone says. But I was heartbroken. I sat in the dugout while my team did their best to console me. I gave up that year and never played again. It may very well have been the worst call in baseball, but to this day I wonder what would have happened had I continued on, and where I might be today. I wonder how much it shaped who I am today. I sometimes wonder why I didn't go back the following year, and can't help but feel defeated that I hadn't. People still talk about that game to this day, almost 20 years later, and I'm still the only one that everyone knows--myself included--who had the kind of luck to be called out on a home run.

My 12 year old little boy was being teased at school for being a "nerd," a bookworm and a "computer geek." He told me that he just said to everyone "computer geeks of today grow up to be the Bill Gates of tomorrow." BRAVO FOR OPTIMISM AND CONFICENCE!! This commercial is great showing a child who thinks the best of himself and his talents.

A colleague shared his impression of this commercial with me and the message intrigued me enough to look for it. The word used by my colleageu to describe the young man's perspective was "resilience" -- the ability to recover quickly from setbacks, the ability of matter to spring back quickly into shape. Not certain if that was the intention of this message, but it is a quality that we should nurture in every child...it would help them to become much more productive and creative adults.

And sometimes it runs in every local outlet on that channel and I think he is the cutest boy for having that wonderful change of attitude. So he's not the greatest hitter, he just decided he'd be the greatest pitcher.

I can totally relate especially being the only girl on a boy's baseball team. I was the best pitcher but I couldn't hit well at all or anything else. Also none of the boys were very optimistic about me playing until the end!

This video is my favorite so far. I mean, it just reminds me of all the times people have been negative when there's a brighter side to it. I went around school giving high fives the other day saying "Optimism, pass it on." and by the end of the school day, people I didn't know were doing it too. I think optimism is one of the greatest things we could have more of in this world...

I am past President of the oldest Optimist Club in Texas, Houston's Downtown Optimist Club. This club has been around for over 90 years and still does some interesting things...but we have no comparison to the past. Boy's & Girl's Harbor, which houses close to 100 displaced children, was started by one of members when he died by his willing us his beach house. We appreciate what you do.
