Emotions run high, but so do skill levels.
I saw a great bunch of big athletes from the Bronx beaten in extra innings by a New Hampshire squad that looked like midgets by comparison, and I saw the Texas catcher save a run by blocking the plate like Mike Piazza. Baseball is my sport. Football is OK and watching basketball is better than having a hemorrhoid lanced, but a good baseball game is something to savor. I'll take a low-scoring contest, given the option, and watch the strategies unfold as managers and players try to steal a run. But above all, baseball is a kids' game.
