excellent
tonight i went to a free baseball game-a double header. it was very, very enjoyable. it reminded me of this quote from WW uncle walt, so i thought i would share--i know baseball doesn't really fit in with the artsy-whatever community, but it's walt whitman, and you can't argue with that.
In our sun-down perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball.' Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms...the game of ball is glorious.
I see great things in base ball. It's our game... The American game. It will take our people out of doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a large physical stoicism. Tends to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us.
Walt Whitman
