My Monday's Music Moves Me post certainly delivers a soundtrack for the boys of summer playing baseball. Welcome to my blog and my A to Z challenge. Today's theme is baseball.
The 2018 baseball has just started so the timing is appropriate for a blog post on baseball. Baseball has been called "America's Pastime." Where I live college football is probably king among sports. I'm pretty passionate about my favorite NFL team. College basketball is fun and March Madness is exciting. I could go on with other sports but baseball is special.
As my proceeding post showed there are great songs about baseball. It has a storied history. IT is a thinking persons sport. There is strategy and enough stats to appeal to the most analytical, number crunching nerd (and I know I have resembled that last comment.)
If that "stats to appeal to the most analytical, number crunching nerd" appeals to you I would highly recommend the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis.
As I stated baseball is probably the most storied sport. There are so many books written about baseball. I just entered search at Goodreads and it came back with over 12,400 books! I've rad a few and have a few laying around waiting for me to read.
If books were not enough to make it storied enough how about movies.
"Field of Dreams"
Even away players work there way up to the major league resembles working your way up the corporate ladder. Young athletes work there way through the minor leagues trying to make it to the Majors. Of course going to a game is fun. Minor league games are very interesting and have quite a few family events. While Major League games give you the big time experience.
A view to baseball field..
Well that's my post on baseball and the letter B. Tune into tomorrow as my focus will go on to the letter C.
