If you've been around the game, you can also pick up the faint smells of pine tar and rosin coming out of cans and packets that have been opened and checked.

Louis huff and puff on their hands between every pitch, wear ski masks under their parkas and crunch away on their frozen hot-dog-on-a-stick, what's so wrong with tossing around the idea of having baseball determine its annual champion at a neutral site -- one where the temperatures don't dip below the Fox TV ratings, the jets' flyby isn't necessary to defrost the foul poles and neither the pitchers nor the beer venders need pine tar relief to get a grip? |
