Why Baseball??
Why do we love the sport of baseball?
Despite work stoppages, steroids, too many teams, too long a season, inter-league play, too high salaries, and the designated hitter...we still love it. Why?
For me, it's the sound of the crack of the bat that laces a ball inches fair down the line. The sound of a Smoltz fastball into the Javier Lopez mitt. POP. Who could hit something that sounded that fast? You can watch every pitch on the edge of your couch or take a snooze during the top of the 4th....and both are perfectly acceptable.
Why does baseball still matter to us??
