The Future Fenway
Baseball is of course entirely about going home, because it is the only game you ever heard of where you want to get back to where you started. All the other games are territorial – you want to get his or her territory – not baseball. Baseball simply wants to get you from here back around to here.
Commissioner of Baseball Angelo Bartlett Giamatti
It’s foolish, and childish, on the face of it, to affiliate ourselves with anything so insignificant and patently contrived and commercially exploitative as a professional sports team. And the amused superiority and icy scorn the non-fan directs at the sports nut, I know this look – I know it by heart - is understandable and almost unanswerable. Almost. What is left out of this calculation it seems to me, is the business of caring. Caring deeply and passionately, really caring, is a capacity or an emotion that’s almost gone out of our lives.
