Last week’s RtWS gave us a chance to get lost in some baseball nostalgia.
Boy, that didn’t last long.
With Rob Manfred all but confirming a delay of spring training, setting up what seems an inevitable push-back of the 2022 season, I find it very hard to hold on to those warm, fuzzy feelings.
So, we are left to find some sort of cognitive balance between the team we love and root for, and the fact that they are inevitably just a commodity to consistently be leveraged against us.
In the end, baseball is just a kid’s game, and there are surely more important things going on in the world than whether games are cancelled.
