Just read T. Coraghessan Boyle’s old collection of short stories, Greasy Lake and Other Stories, which has a nice baseball story, “The Hector Quesadilla Story”, on a game that goes on into extra innings and the eternal nature of baseball:
“The wind-up, the delivery, the ball hanging there like a pinata, like a birthday gift, and then the stick flashes in your hands like an archangel’s sword, and the game goes on forever.”
Good stuff. And speaking of stuff, or stuffing, happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers. May Theo bring in another great player this Turkey Day.
