I love baseball--always have and I'm old. When I was a child in a small town in Michigan, families would get together for the Saturday night baseball game. I don't know when baseball stopped being the American sport and we switched to football, which I find unbearable to watch because the people out on the field brutally attack each other and pile up more injuries that will bring them to grievous harm later in life. People tell me that baseball is too slow but it's not if you are thinking through the next moves while nothing appears to happen as you would when watching a chess game. I love baseball but football does reflect these cold, brutal times in the U.S. far better than does baseball.
