BASEBALL
"Baseball was, is, and always will be the best game in the world" - Babe Ruth

FIELD OF DREAMS
The one constant through all the years has been Baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But, Baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and could be again.
Baseball- A. Bartlett Giamatti
" Baseball is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring when everything else begins again, and it blooms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings. And then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the winter alone."
