Baseball Wisdom for Lawyers

A lawyer’s career will have some peaks and plenty of valleys, writes Winstead shareholder Talmage Boston.

Boston looks to the valleys two Texas Rangers position players found themselves in last season as case studies in dealing with adversity. One completely turned around his season at the plate after a conversation with his wife.

Lessons from Opening Day: Enjoy the Ride and Have Hope

Craig Budner grew up “one heck of a baseball fan.” His walls were filled with autographed pictures and baseballs signed by the likes of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins and Connie Mack. His great-grandfather traveled for one month of every season for 48 years with the Philadelphia Athletics and was named “The Greatest Fan in Baseball” by Sporting News.

  • My Five Favorite Books: Melanie Koltermann (General Counsel at Five Star Management) - My reading habits have changed dramatically over the years. Where I once lingered over actual hard copy books late at night, these days I “read” mostly on the move. I now listen to my books, filling the hours I spend driving to/from work and after dropping of the kids for their many events. What might once have felt like idle time has become some of my most rewarding reading time, and I’ve grown to love how stories accompany me in the car. Much like my taste in music, my reading choices are eclectic and all over the place. I rarely stick to one genre or style, preferring instead to explore whatever captures my curiosity at the moment.
