“I believe in the Church of Baseball. I’ve tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I’ve worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn’t work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there’s no guilt in baseball, and it’s never boring… which makes it like sex…I’ve tried ‘em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.” - Bull Durham
I’ve been “Stumbling” a whole lot over the passed few days, and the one subject that keeps randomly coming up is Baseball. Sure the World Series just ended and the Philadelphia Phillies were just crowned. The funny thing is - I can’t wait until spring when I can root, root, root, for the Giants again. “Baseball?” some might say, “but Robot, baseball is only a game.” Well to quote from George F. Will - “Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.”
Well in an effort to keep this short and sweet, only four and a half months left till opening day.
Ciao,
