“No baseball fan has to explain his mania to any other baseball fan. They are a fraternity. It is less easy, often it is hopeless, to try to explain it to anyone else. You grow technical, and you do not make sense. You grow sentimental, and you are deemed soft in the head. How, the benighted outsider ask you with no little condescension, can you grow sentimental about a cold-blooded professional sport?”

— John K. Hutchens (via randomsox)

baseball commentary is awesome its like

"i don't understand what people mean when they talk about a constant state of the self. come on, we're always shifting like water."

"that's true, but our experiences stay with us for our entire lives as there's a fly ball to left field and it's caught by Pollock at the warning track, the person we are is built upon what we learnt as the person we used to be, you know?"

"of course, we are always shaping what we will become in the future. Castillo dots the corner for a called strike."

"man that hot dog guy's really killing it."

"i can hear him from all the over here. he's making me hungry. do you like relish on your hot dog?"
