THE RHYTHM, THE GRACE, THE FEEL, IT





When you’ve had a bad streak and you get it back, you feel like you’re whole again.

It’s like a warm shower after a chilly night game …
Like water in the desert …
Like a knot coming loose in your gut …
Like a sigh that runs down to your toes …

At the plate, in the field, you can see the ball, you can handle the ball, you want the ball.

It’s like a double play with a 1-0 lead …
Bad bounce snatches, full-length dives, bunts that defy imagination …

Baseball is a wonderful world.
