Baseball

Ali and I started watching our VHS copy of Ken Burns' Baseball 9-part documentary tonight, in anticipation of softball season. I'm not sure exactly when the season starts, but now that curling's over I need a new excuse to get all worked up with a bunch of alcoholics on Sundays, and this is always a good way to get excited about the game. I think this is the third time I'll have seen this series. So far we've only made it through the "top of the first inning," but I'm already hooked. It's such a great and beautiful documentary, but it always gets me all choked up. If I were American, I probably couldn't even watch it.
