Isle Hearing the Giants win the NL West over internet radio, Martin Hoerchner is led to dredge up some old baseball memories. Baseball is eternal.
Baseball is also immediate.
For instance, I am writing this at 12.20am, British Summer Time, early in the morning of Sunday September 28. I am listening to Internet Radio, to the flagship station of the San Francisco Giants, and they have just won the National League West. Memories come flooding back this night. Like the last day of the 1993 season, when the Giants lost their division title on the last day of the season after winning 103 games. I was listening on a weak signal from Armed Forces Radio.
