"Who knows where you’re going to be in April? Or June? Or September? Your life could be the same as it is now. It could be dramatically different. But there is one thing you do know: There will be baseball. If you are happy that day or sad that day, if you want to embrace the glories of life that day or have some brief escape from the pain it can provide that day, baseball will be there for you. You will watch a game with a loved one, with your family, with an old friend, with a work colleague, or by yourself alongside 40,000 strangers who, in a moment, can become your closest pals. That’s what baseball is and what it does and why it is so resilient as a metaphor for life itself: It happens. Some days you win. Some days you lose. You still have to get out of bed and go get ‘em again tomorrow." - Will Leitch author
