The ball was constantly moving, the players were constantly moving, the action only stopped when the ball left the court or someone made a foul. Baseball, on the other hand, involved a lot of waiting. I don't need Sox tickets for that, I can do it in the doctors office for free. There was another reason why I never got into sports, at least in retrospect. It's a reason I didn't get into a lot of things.
Kids are wierd.
Kids are mean. Kids are cliquish. I was extremely sensitive. I never understood the rules to most sports games, and I didn't know much about the teams, the players, and all that other jazz. I wasn't initiated into the cult of athletics.
