Much like baseball this parallel universe has asked that we endure the aches and pains of this long wrong timeline in hopes that we can celebrate at the end of it. We must continue to get up, dust ourselves off and step up to the plate. With each new executive order it feels like the umpire is widening the strike zone and we can’t do anything about it other than hope to foul off pitch after pitch until we finally get something we can handle. Baseball analogies aside, I’ve seen it happen to you and others here countless times. I’ve had it happen to me in real life. Spirited discourse of facts have devolved into willful ignorance and meme echo chambers. Science, math, history, and humanity have been questioned by those whose qualifications come with a follower count instead of a PhD. Baseball is my short escape from this. Like you said, baseball isn’t perfect but it is honest. It’s not always right but it’s always wanting to be better. And that’s something more people could learn from nowadays. Needless to say that I enjoyed this post.

Thanks for this thoughtful response.
I have been a serious baseball fan and a serious yellow dog democrat all my 80 years
and you articulated exactly my beliefs on both the game and the state of our society.
Thank you sir.
