It's no shame in reaching second or third base if you aimed for first base.

About This Quote

This saying goes back to the days when baseball was played on fields and not in stadiums. It became a popular saying after baseball players first began using gloves to catch and throw the ball. The first base was at first base and second base was its place before third base. When a player made it to second base, he had reached first base. He had also reached second base if he had caught the ball at first base.
