The Church of Baseball
One of the sure signs that Spring is right around the corner is when sports talk begins turning to baseball. Today I received my annual invitation to take up the reigns as manager of the Bourgeois Pigs fantasy baseball team. The Pigs came in second last year and are primed and ready to challenge the defending champions in 2011. In honor of pitchers and catchers who will begin reporting to camp tomorrow, I share with you the words of Annie Savoy from the movie, Bull Durham.
“I believe in the Church of Baseball. I’ve tried all the major religions, and most of the minor ones. I’ve worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms, and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I heard that, I gave Jesus a chance.”
