In 1924, the Washington Senators were playing Game 7 against the New York Giants.  The Senators were down a run in the bottom of the 9th inning, when Leon (Goose) Goslin stepped to the plate.  With the season on the line, Goslin hit a pitch deep off the wall.  Seeing that the outfielder misplayed the ball, Goslin just kept running.  As he slid into home plate, the catcher put the tag on him.  Goslin was called out.  The place went crazy.  The Senators’ coach stormed up to the umpire for an explanation.  The umpire said, “He missed first base!”
 
You have to get first things first – and the first thing is to make sure you know the Lord!
