Nike founder's first business

[wade1mil]

When Phil Knight was the last cut from freshman high school baseball, his mom said he could deliver papers or try out for track. Track led to Nike.

This is a sales letter from his first company called TIGER. I can imagine if I was a track coach and read this, the first sentence would make me want to read the rest of the letter. The last two sentences are great because it challenges your ego, although I'd probably use something other than idiot these days.
