Opening Day..Play Ball!
Baseball is vastly better in person than on TV. Only when you're in the ballpark can the eye grasp and interconnect the game's great distances. Will the wind blow that long fly just over the fence? Will the relay throw nail the runner trying to score from second on a double in the alley? Who's warming up in the bullpen? Where is the defense shading this hitter? Did the base stealer get a good jump? The eye flicks back and forth and captures everything that is necessary.
Why Is Baseball So Much Better Than Football?
On January 18, 1987, baseball columnist Thomas Boswell wrote a superb article for the Washington Post giving ninety-nine reasons why baseball is so much better than football.
"Quarterbacks have to ask the crowd to quiet down. Pitchers never do." - Thomas Boswell in 'Why is Baseball So Much Better Than Football' (1987, The Post)
