FMK - Baseball

Baseball is the greatest game ever conceived by man. Period, end of story. In the month of March, you will be going to your first baseball games. They will take place in small stadiums. They will be watched with real baseball fans. And, they will be Yankee games. I am jealous. Now I know that you will not be able to watch the games. But, according to the doctors, you will be able to hear them. My first baseball game was at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, a stadium that no longer stands. The game featured the Philadelphia Phillies against the Montreal Expos, a team that no longer exists. The stadium was a dump. The city itself is quite frankly a dump, though it does have some really great historical areas and good concert halls. I do not remember who won the game. All I remember is that the hot dogs were the best I have ever tasted and the sounds of the game were amazing. There is nothing in this world like the sound of a well hit ball coming off of a bat. It is singularly true. I am glad that you get to hear that sound, as well as all the others associated with baseball, during a Yankee game. You are already spoiled.
