To my latest rhapsody on baseball
Thym (Octidi), 28 Prairial, CCXXXIV
My latest willfully extravagant article on the spiritual nature of baseball has just appeared in The Plough, a publication with which I am always pleased to be associated.
Substack is the home for great culture
My wife informs me of a piece about team sports she has seen. Football was conceived for young men to learn the art of war. Basketball is an urban game originally played in a cage. Baseball, the game for immigrants. The hero at the plate beset by The Man, nine people arrayed against him, and even the best only bat .300.
I’m sorry, I’m still reliving OG Anunoby’s tip-in at the end of Game 4.
