Since Whitman's day

" Baseball, to me, is still the national pastime because it is a summer game. I feel that almost all Americans are summer people, that summer is what they think of when they think of their childhood. I think it stirs up an incredible emotion within people." ~Steve Busby

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. " ~A. Bartlett Giamatti

"Win or lose they always gave their best"


Just a picture I like. I noticed two boys (left) helping their dad, who is in charge of the concession stand.

Girls. Still better than boys.

The couple on the left love their boy so much. They never miss a game. I can tell they do, is all. God keep them.

Two girls and two flying balloons in a post-flag era.

Full moon up there!

"Baseball is a game dominated by vital ghosts; it's a fraternity, like no other we have of the active and the no longer so, the living and the dead." ~Richard Gilman
