Yesterday, I was driving back from New Jersey and listening to the Yankees-Red Sox game, despite the fact that I’m generally indifferent to both teams. My wife asked, “Why do you like baseball?” Considering we’ve been together for almost ten years, it’s amazing she’d never asked me the question in such a plain way.
The short answer is, I have no idea. I could probably think of reasons, things about the game that speak to me. But ultimately, I like it because I like it.
However, if I had to pick one thing, I’d say it’s because every year, there’s always a chance to see something wonderful. Even the lamest, most failure-filled seasons have transcendent moments.
