What is it about baseball? Americans are passionate about many of our sports, but baseball is the one we’re inclined to be romantic about. Maybe it’s because so many of us have memories at age four or five, in an oversized helmet and jersey, taking aim at a ball on a tee and salivating over snacks promised when the game is over. Or remembering a slow summer Sunday with a game on, getting a lesson on the infield fly rule from a wise family member. Maybe it’s because baseball brings spring, which we all anticipate after a long, cold winter. Or does spring bring baseball? Either way, warming days, the smell of grass, and the promise of baseball are a package deal.
