Baseball is a great escape for many both young and old.
It captures all who play it and sucks them in allowing them to forget about their worries for the time being. Baseball is better then life, it is fair. When a batter sacrafices himself for a team mate he does not get an at bat counted against him therefore his batting average is not lowered. Someone once said that baseball reminds us of what was good and what can be good again. That baseball has been the one constant over time, while the rest of the world is ever growing and changing, baseball stays the same.
