I’m halfway home, boys! Six full months of daily blogging in the can!
I spent yesterday afternoon at Sox Park taking in a ballgame while thinking thoughts of how poorly run the organization is and how they soon might be playing in Nashville. Even though the organization is a mess and attendance is dismal, it would be incredibly sad to see them go. All this got me thinking about a Studs Terkel video I’d recently seen and how well he communicates the mood of taking in a game, even when your team is a dismal mess and baseball has slipped to perhaps America’s sixth or seventh most popular professional sport.
It’s very much worth a watch, check it out below!
