Victim of Laughing Chance

Opening Night, a new year with new possibilities. I want no mention of Canseco, Steroids, Bonds, Mitchell, Specter and all that stuff. I want to hear the crack of the bat, the slap of the ball on leather, the scream of the crowd after a strikeout, the beauty of a one-handed sliding catch, the sweet science of a curveball that paints the corner, a head first slide into third that barely beats the throw from right field, the wide grin of a young boy who catches his first foul ball, Wrigley Field on a saturday afternoon, the Green Monster,... baseball. Some may not understand, like Dave Barry said, "If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base." Here's to Opening Night!
Play ball!
