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.

  • 6trak Synthesis

    In the year 1986 I became familiar with analog synthesis by means of a Sequential Circuits Six-Trak instrument, one of the defining inanimate objects that influenced my creative interests. The synth is long gone but I still synthesize with audio, pixels, words and people.

    I am Joel Eby and I live in Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. This site is a stream of musings about digital design, music, technology and other ramblings. And, as little as I can help myself, baseball. Thanks for dropping in.
