100 Words about Baseball

  • Why I Love Baseball
    There is no clock
    90 feet between bases is genius
    There are secret signs
    Hanging curveballs are sexy
    Numbers are magic: 755, 56, 7, 61, 1.12
    Tinker to Evers to Chance
    Ivy at Wrigley
    The Green Monster
    The suicide squeeze
    Cracker Jack
    Walt Whitman liked it
    Jackie Robinson and Pee-Wee Reese
    It just feels American
    The seventh-inning stretch
    Superstition
    Guys in tight pants
    Bull Durham
    Centerfield
    There’s no crying in baseball
    Cooperstown
    A great play at the plate
    Chatter
    Pepper
    High socks
    Tradition
    Spring training
    Keeping score
    The rubber game
    The infield fly rule
    162 chances

Original thought

Original thought and original sin both happened a long time ago to people you couldn't possibly have known.
-Fran Leibowitz

Today, a large percentage of the blogging world chose to post missives that needle, lampoon, or otherwise work over James Frey's literary integrity by giving examples of how they will reshape their own history in order to sell a million books. (i.e., "That paper cut I got last week will become a stab wound incurred while I singlehandledly took on the entire population of the Crips.") Enough, already. Please go back to the Alito hearings or Lindsay Lohan or Pat Robertson, because this joke ran its course in about 45 minutes.
