PITCHERS AND CATCHERS

[A Swing and A Drive]

“People ask me what I do in winter when there is no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for Spring.”

- Rogers Hornsby

[Baldkin]

I believe in the Church of Baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. [sigh] But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology.
