Mike Hampton led the Mets to the World Series on Monday night, but he didn't throw at the Cardinals' heads in the 9th. After Jay Payton was beaned by Dave Veres , both benches cleared. It looked like a direct shot to his head, one that followed another high inside pitch. Usually that means retaliation in baseball. But with only three outs needed for a trip to the WS, Hampton didn't waste any pitches by going after any of the Cardinals.
Baseball is the belly-button of our society.
Straighten out baseball, and you straighten out the rest of the world.
