I know I'm going to be attacked and maligned for this. I know for many sports enthusiasts its all about football or basketball or soccer or even hockey. But baseball truly is the essence of life in our universe as we know it. I know for some of you its a boring game. I would venture to say that's because you truly don't understand all of the tiny incredible nuances of the game. Every pitch a dozen chess games being played out.
I live in a desert. The summers are hot and long but baseball makes it bearable. That, an occasional good cigar, a straight razor shave in the morning and grandkids.
