Take Me Out to the Ball Game


I am not a huge sports fan, but I enjoy going to the occasional baseball game. For some reason, though, I have not made it out to see a Jays game this year. This is a real shame, because they have been entertaining this year, even if they are not in serious contention.

I don't know why I enjoy watching baseball. Perhaps it is because it is a game I played as a child (unlike hockey). Perhaps it is because baseball seems more civilized and less violent than football (which I played, reluctantly and poorly). Perhaps it is because there is an element of poetry to the game.
