Agreed. Very well-written, and pretty much describing the essence of the baseball experience as a fan. It reminded me of many of the things that really made me fall in love with baseball. The entire Astrodome crowd screaming "Joooosseeeee Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz!" every time he came up. Mike Scott's no-hitter to clinch the division title, where there weren't even enough seats to accomodate the crowd, but no one cared, they were never sitting down anyway. Everyone waiting on the latest Nolan Ryan radar gun reading, and then waiting the next half-inning to hear what Doc Gooden's reading was.
Sorry for the aside. You got the nostalgia flowing though...
