I think I've struck upon a reason why so many people play baseball video games. It's not because they're fun, or because they're an escape from the hassles of life. It's because it actually gives them control over a baseball team, which as any fan will tell you is something that NEVER HAPPENS AT ALL!!!! I devoted a good seven hours yesterday to the Dodgers game. I hadn't intended on giving it that much. But when you live where I do, you grab onto any chance you get to see your favorite team on free television and you do not let go ... for anything. The Dodgers were playing the Cubs on WGN. The game was delayed almost 3 hours because of rain. So while I waited out the delay, switching back over and over ("no, now they're airing Cheers" ... "no, now they're airing America's Funniest Home Videos" ... "hey, whatever happened to Daisy Fuentes?"), to see if the game had started, the Dodgers stayed foremost in my mind ...
Up all hours talking baseball, cardboard & collecting
