Hi Cory
Thanks for the story. I relate to the passion you have for baseball, but it
still does nothing to change my view that a disturbing number of humans have
some very messed up priorities. I still find it appalling that people are out
asking for donations for baseball (little league or high school) when
millions of human beings are dying of diseases which need research money.
I am not knocking baseball. I personally prefer football, but that's
missing the point. When you said that one needs to share your "love of the
game" in order to truly understand the passion, you are correct. The same
goes for people who have a passion for art, hunting, fishing, or whatever;
you have to experience it in order to truly understand. It could even be
argued that baseball has saved lives. But finding a cure for cancer would
save, I think it's safe to say, considerably more.
The billions of dollars we spend capriciously on our personal
entertainment is, IMO, sickening.
