I will always play the game to the best of my ability. I will always play to win, but if I lose, I will not look for an excuse
to detract from my opponent's victory. I will never take an unfair advantage in order to win. I will always abide by the rules of the game—on the diamond as
well as in my daily life. I will always conduct myself as a true sportsman—on and off the
playing field. I will always strive for the good of the entire team rather than for
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 always judge a teammate or an opponent as an individual
and never on the basis of race or religion.
Connie Mack’s Code of Conduct for Players, 1916
