The frustration and the elation.

The nice thing about baseball. Is the long season. Yes, 162 games. The best teams. Not only get used to winning. But also to losing. Maybe as many as 60 or 70 games. Meanwhile, good football teams have a chance to go undefeated. They play once a week. Maybe 16 games in a season. Baseball is so very, very imperfect. And complex. Over the long haul. If the Chicago Cubs go to the World Series, they will still have lost their share of heartbreaking games. That’s the frustration of baseball. To contrast with the elation. Of winning the big game. --Jim Broede
