Message to Gary: Reason #312 To Still Love Baseball

While there are still a few hours in the day, happy birthday to Mookie Wilson!

And for my friend Gary who has soured on professional sports, consider this: The same sport (and even the same team) that brought us the desperate and ever-disappointing Darryl Strawberry also brought us such sources of unalloyed pleasure as Ed Charles, Tug McGraw, Rusty Staub, Ron Swoboda, Benny Agbayani, and Mookie Wilson.

If God was willing to forgive Sodom because it had a few righteous citizens, can't we do the same for baseball?
