Baseball is a game, which is unlike any other.
It is because of these inherent differences from all other games that our Nation has declared baseball our Pastime. It has been the most popular youth sport for the past century, and has attained an irresistible innocence, which makes the hardest of men feel like children. Due to the importance of the game to the general public's everyday life, they must declare heroes within their great game. Like it or not, society has set a standard for these gentlemen that is most often above human ability. From time to time, the individual fails tragically on or off the field.
