I saw divinity in baseball.
Baseball is a three-hour meditation, punctuated by the occasional pitch.
Soccer faithful have more fun. When a home run is hit in baseball, fans shake hands or exchange high fives. But when a soccer goal is scored, we embrace, toss confetti, stomp our feet and scream with patriotic abandon. Soccer players have more fun, too. When Sammy Sosa hits a home run, other Cubs give him a fraternal slap on the butt.
