Baseball is not a game. It isn't a season. It is a continuum, handed down generation by generation. When I play catch with a son, I think of playing catch in my back yard with my Dad. And now, I think he thought of baseball with his dad when he was a kid... It is the smell of the leather glove, the sound of cleats on concrete and gravel, the crack of a fungo bat. It's taking a grandkid to a game, knowing one day that he'll take a great great grandkid that you'll never know to a game one day... That's what baseball is.
