On Baseball…….

Yesterday, I pointed out how much I miss hearing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” at the 7th inning stretch. SJS pointed out that there is another tradition that needs to come back-the pitcher needs to bat. And then today, I thought about it-the idea of playing game five

And now for something you really are not going to like.
