MBA and Baseball

I have decided that the MBA program here at ASU is a lot like baseball. We students are pitchers and the professors are umpires. Every umpire has his own strike zone; some are more liberal on the corners, some like high pitches, some like low pitches. If we want to succeed, we just need to figure out each umpire's strike zone and put the ball where it needs to go. Not every good pitch we throw gets called a strike and not every bad pitch we throw gets called a ball. In the end, what we want most is consistency. If we play the game right the odds are greatly in our favor, and the outcome is ultimately in our control.
