Wednesday, August 31, 2010 marked the major league debut of heralded Cuban defector and flame-throwing left-handed pitcher Aroldis Chapman, of the Cincinnati Reds. Chapman entered the contest in relief, in the 8th inning, with the Reds possessing an 8-3 lead.

From the moment Chapman opened the bullpen gate to the time he exited the mound after a 1-2-3 inning of 8 pitches, 4 of which zoomed to the plate in excess of 100 m.p.h., the crowd of 19,218 was on its feet whooping and hollering for his every action.

It is the rare athlete whose mere presence and overwhelming prowess can inspire such a mesmerizing, galvanizing effect on viewers. Aim to develop your skills, at whatever you do, to such a peak level that any observer must say “wow, he’s awesome.” Electrify with your excellence, just like Chapman.
