I grew up as a baseball fan. Went to 10 or 20 Dodgers games a
year from age four to college. Then the greedy owners and greedy
players conspired to destroy my team, and destroy the game
itself. They killed the baseball fan in me. I continue to
watch from time to time, and take in a game now and then, but it’s not
the same.
This year, with the Cubs and Red Sox in the playoffs, I almost became a
fan again. Now they’re gone. Maybe next year.
