EDIT 2: He talks about how baseball "provides a distraction, a focus other than our difficulties when they prove too much to bear. The feeling may be fleeting, but watching a pitcher-batter confrontation or listening to a friendly, familiar voice describe a deep, arching home run can provide a brief escape, which may be just what we need to get by at that moment." That's how I feel about OOTPB as well.
I didn't click on the link because I'm very wary about just clicking on something and going to a website I don't know, but I agree wholeheartedly with the excerpt posted by Deja. Especially the part I have put in bold type.
