Aside from the strike zone, there is very little subjectivity to baseball. The ball is caught or it isn t. A batter is out or is safe. Granted, the infield-fly rule will take some time. It can be found in a baseball stadium.
Baseball is timeless.
Settle into your seat at AutoZone Park, though, and you may see five innings, most likely nine, but perhaps 15. We spend far too much of our time, even our personal time, rushing places. A baseball game offers a setting where time simply does not matter. There s no such thing as a deadline in the world of baseball and, heaven knows, families need to escape deadlines every now and then. I ve lost touch with nearly all my high school and college teachers, most of whom are completely decent people.
