Baseball, my passion. Today I got my early season fix on my baseball obsession. Baseball is America. Dated back to 1845. No sport is more American than baseball. You eat peanuts and drink beer. All the while discussing the mistakes of the pros that you watch. It is filled with moments of excitement and action, along with moments of boredom and useless trivia. Baseball is all about meaningless trivial facts that make the game interesting. Why else would they have the speed of the pitch displayed on the video board. It is so fans like me can analyze the pitcher's decision making, and at the first mistake claim that we wouldn't have done that. It is so when a runner on first gets caught stealing, we can claim that he didn't get a good enough jump, or that the pitcher fooled him on previous pick off attempts. Baseball is so much America and minor league baseball is so much baseball, that a day game a half week into the season, with sunny skies, Was my way of proving myself as an American.
