Dear Izzy, Max, and Kate,
I've been trying to slow the pace of our life lately. It occurred to me that the deliberately slow approach to the game is what makes me love baseball so much. I enjoy all sports, but there's something special about baseball that helps me relax. You girls aren't too excited about my love for baseball, but I'm happy to have a partner now in you, Max.
I just became aware of this blog of Chad Nikazy this morning, as he was featured on WordPress' "Freshly Pressed". I was thinking of doing a baseball post again, and this caught my eye. It is a fine summary of what makes baseball such a good "parable" of life. And, of course, if you are a Cubs fan, there are additional lessons :) Enjoy the read!
