In recent years, baseball has lost many fans. The strike of 1994-95 alienated thousands of fans and I must say, I was mad as hell myself. But I believe that we should forgive and forget. While baseball is not perfect, there is no greater picture of heaven on earth than an afternoon game at Wrigley Field or Fenway Park. Nothing Picasso ever painted was as pretty as Ken Griffey Jr.'s swing or Greg Maddux's change-up.
Baseball is a fan's game.
I would rather be on a hot summer afternoon than in the outfield bleachers at a baseball game with a hot dog, a bag of peanuts and an overpriced beer. I think the thing that appeals to me most about baseball is that anyone can play. You don't even have to be in good shape to play. I ain't an athlete. I'm a baseball player.
