Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun.
- Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, in The Sandlot

I've been going to games since August 8, 1973....and on August 22, 2004, finally, a foul ball came my way. I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller!

Have you read The Baseball Same Game?

I honestly never understood the big mistake Merkle made
so he didn't touch second
he saw the winning run cross the plate and thought the game was over
he was young and inexperienced, it wasn't like he was a wizened old vet who'd been in the game for 20 years
