“Perhaps there is some secret sort
of homing instinct in books
that brings them to their perfect readers.”

Tuesday Inspiration…
Finally, the baseball season is back in swing…
Don’t tell me about the world. Not today. It’s springtime and they’re knocking baseball around fields where the grass is damp and green in the morning and the kids are trying to hit the curve ball. ~Pete Hamill
Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off… the right pitch will come, but when it does, be prepared to run the bases. ~Rick Maksian
Baseball is an allegorical play about America, a poetic, complex, and subtle play of courage, fear, good luck, mistakes, patience about fate, and sober self-esteem. ~Saul Steinberg
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. ~A. Bartlett Giamatti
The other sports are just sports. Baseball is a love. ~Bryant Gumbel

Movie Monday…
Ray Kinsella: I bet it’s good to be playing again, huh?
Shoeless Joe Jackson: Getting thrown out of baseball was like having part of me amputated. I’ve heard that old men wake up and scratch itchy legs that been dust for over fifty years. That was me. I’d wake up at night with the smell of the ball park in my nose, the cool of the grass on my feet… The thrill of the grass.
