Do you know what I miss during this hellscape? Baseball. I don’t mean just watching baseball. I love doing that and catch whatever I can. But like, being at a game. Being at a bar and talking baseball. Being literally anywhere and scoring and talking stats and bullshittingPermalink On twitter.com

Baseball is a bizarre sport in the realm of sports. If you won 3/4 games all season, you’d be the greatest team that ever played. It’s also bizarre in that baseball fans love baseball before anything else. This isn’t super common in sportsPermalink On twitter.com

So I got to walk into places anywhere in the country and be a Mariners fan and it didn’t matter if the home team was in the same division. I did this in stadiums and bars and wherever and people went. “Well, if you like them, you must REALLY love baseball”Permalink On twitter.com

And then they’d talk with me about the 90s and Edgar and Griffey and Randy and then we’d slip into the 01 WA with the Diamondbacks and the Yankees and of course I was rooting for AZ.Permalink On twitter.com

And I just miss that weird camaraderie that came with this sport that is tailored for math nerds and people who like weird historical factsPermalink On twitter.com

Anyway. I just rewatched the Dorktown Mariners series and it got me emotional for a second time and I’m left hoping again for a day when we can go back to some of those things that help us forgetOn twitter.com
