Frank Chimero on Baseball

Frank Chimero on baseball in the summer:

Many of my friends misjudge it, thinking sport needs to be swift like a basketball game, or intense and concentrated like a football game. But baseball is more of an experience to have than a spectacle to see. It’s called a park for a reason: it’s a place of leisure, (hell, stretching is built into the format), and an opportunity to just be present.

Yeah that’s good stuff. Makes me miss Dave Niehaus all the more.
