EDIT: Heh, this I like:
Quote:
Some silly fools call baseball's season too long, the day-to-day grind too much to keep up with. We'll leave them to enjoy their once-a-week football contests, three hours of pent-up fury unleashed on the gridiron. Or their sporadic basketball and hockey schedules, about as comprehensible as string theory.

Me, I'll take baseball, its metronome-like consistency a comforting, reliable presence, sometimes at the forefront of our attention, other times as an aside while we're working on the car, fishing, or playing catch with our children.
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.

Really? Huh...I thought it was so we could point out how (insert random event here) would NEVER happen in real baseball. I didn't see that mentioned at all...

You're welcome. That site is generally good and informative, but sometimes it also features something really special like that article.

Great piece, thank you for sharing it. As for OOTB, once I get immersed my adult worries go to the back of mind and my biggest concern is whether or not I promote that prospect to AA, or do I keep in high A and not rush him?

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.
