#161 Musings Beyond the Bunker (Tuesday October 5)

Good morning! BASEBALL BEFORE GEOPOLITICS The baseball playoffs are here and I couldn’t be more excited (well, perhaps a bit more if the Angels were in the mix). I love so much about the sport, not the least the stories of my father’s love of the Yankees and the many games I attended with him, as well as the many games I’ve attended with Jake, Lauren and Brad. While baseball is “just a sport,” attending a ball game also is an experience in a way most sports are not. A visit to a ballpark is an attack on the senses—the colors, the field, the smells, familiar sounds—everything. Hearing the organ, the hot dog salesmen coming down the aisles, fans yelling at the ump and debating calls, and singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch are all part of the experience.
