I've always felt that I was talking to one person. But I've never envisioned who that one person is.
I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things.
It is kind of lovely to be sitting alone, just thinking, very quiet, no one around. I don't feel alone or left out.
I really love baseball. The guys and the game, and I love the challenge of describing things. The only thing I hate - and I know you have to be realistic and pay the bills in this life - is the loneliness on the road.
