Pulling the String

"Baseball...is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed, and the only one in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime and ending with the hard facts of autumn." - Baseball: An Illustrated History

About Me

Name:

In To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, young Scout Finch learns how to see from Boo Radley's perspective by standing on his front porch. The Radley Porch is my venue to explore perspectives in literature as well as other areas of my life. So come on up the steps, curl up on my virtual porch swing, and relax!

Alternate Service Option

Have you guys heard of this? Apparently our friendly neighborhood Army decided that if a guy is good at a sport, he shouldn't have to fulfill his military commitment. . . If he can get a sports contract after two years, he can opt out of his payback time and just go reserves/recruiting. The Mustangs center fielder is a 2003 West Point grad who is now playing pro-ball "for the Army." I understand this is probably a PR thing to up enlistment, but do you really want guys joining the Army so they can play sports? We are in a time of war here, aren't we?
