Writing around the idea that baseball is a game slightly ahead of its time. A 'simple' game the qualities of which include physical and metaphysical paradoxes: the two dimensional diamond with-in the sphere; the struggle between individuals with-in a complex group dynamic.
Baseball is like a school of the Socratic method: it asks questions - the consideration of which lead to more questions - a process that illuminates a path towards critical thought.

Despite what the Battery thinks
Russell Martin/Marco Estrada hug after the win.
I took it to say:
'I was in your corner my friend; I just didn't have a say.'
(at the end of the line of the blue jays coming off the field after the win; the difference between all the flip this-and-that macho bullshit - is the pitcher and the catcher hugging).
