It's a beautiful game. Incr...I love baseball. It's a beautiful game. Incredibly difficult, yet childishly simple. Half-hours of seeming downtime filled with tension as you wait for that single moment between victory and defeat. Each batter straining to do the near-impossible, making it that much more dramatic when it happens. It doesn't require the brute strength of football, the speed and agility of soccer, the coordination or jumping ability of basketball. Yet the best players of the game are unquestionably great athletes. It's the game that almost anyone with enough desire and determination can excel at. It is thoroughly American. And its history is inexorably linked with American history.<br /><br />There is something comforting about baseball. It is a leisurely game, a holdover from when we understood what leisure was. It is a very human game, being that the best hitters only get on base a third of the time.<br /><br />Yes, I just watched Ken Burns' "Baseball." But I already loved the game, that's why I watched the documentary.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827294758690949351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844881757400912368.post-76838367334836756082011-10-12T10:53:43.374-05:002011-10-12T10:53:43.374-05:00but also cherrybut also cherrybradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042340121572249901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844881757400912368.post-39963276880942715792011-10-12T09:54:53.494-05:002011-10-12T09:54:53.494-05:00Grape is favorite.Grape is favorite.Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763999058433956119noreply@blogger.com
