THE CONNIE MACK SPORTSMAN'S CREED

The following is The Connie Mack Sportsman Creed for boys and girls of all ages.


"As a member of the Connie Mack Club, I make the following pledge:


I promise to play the game to the best of my ability at all times.


I will play to win, but if I lose I will never look for excuses which would detract from my opponent's victory.


I will never take unfair advantage in order to win.


I will always abide by the rules of the game on the diamond mas well in my daily life.


I will always conduct myself as a true sportsman should on and off the ball field.


I will always strive to play for the good on the entire team rather than my own glory.


I will never gloat in victory or pity myself in defeat.


I will do my utmost to keep myself clean - physically, mentally and morally.


I will judge a teammate as an individual and never on the basis of race or religion.'


Signed.. CONNIE MACK
