And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps.

It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

I ate vegan pie with him on a sidewalk before a show once and he just turned to us and was like “Hi my name is Aaron” as though we hadn’t just driven across the state to watch him play two nights in a row in two different cities.

I’d love to watch them define porn while maintaining that they have never partaken. Cannot be done.

I had no idea until my MIL told me recently—she’s been a government employee for about 25 years in various agencies and currently works for the VA. It’s wild to me how unprotected they are.
