A baseball game can be an amusing, albeit expensive, afternoon of entertainment. There are good guys and there are bad guys and if the good guys don't win? Well, it's a shame.
If, however, we agree to engage with the game on a deeper level, the drama of a baseball game or a baseball season can show us who we are. It can reflect back to us what we value (and what we're willing is discard) in a way, perhaps, that might not be readily apparent in our hectic daily lives. In the way of all good drama, it can force us to examine ourselves and why we feel the way we do. If we can take those lessons that we've learned from the game, we can apply them to the wider world.
And so today, of all days, we attempt to embrace Lou Groman's philosophy: "The sun will rise. The sun will set. And I'll eat lunch."
