BASEBALL
AN ALLEGORY
Quote for Today - Opening Day of the Baseball Season - March 31, 2011
"Baseball is an allegorical play about America, a poetic, complex and subtle play of courage, fear, good luck, mistakes, patience about fate and sober self-esteem (batting average). It is impossible to understand America without a thorough knowledge of baseball."
Saul Steinberg, "Chronology" 1954, in Harold Rosenberg, Saul Steinberg, 1978

Roger Angell: I felt what I almost always feel when I am watching a ballgame: Just for those two or three hours, there is really no place I would rather be.
