I have trouble understanding folks who don’t like baseball – that luxuriously paced, summer lawn game we call the nation’s pastime.

Baseball is so civilized, and so quintessentially American.

It’s a team sport, yes, but each man gets his time at bat.
Like life in America, there really is no down time in baseball. Its slow times are filled with discussion, speculation, nervous energy, and its fast times are explosively frenetic, thrilling, and even breathtakingly exciting. What’s not to like.

Most of all, however, baseball is about history, nostalgia, statistics, and the characters and personalities that made it all happen. And as such, it is a game tailor-made for the antique market.
