Little by little, in telling Sam all these details, I got to see the bigger point of baseball, that it can give us back ourselves. Weโre a crowd animal, a highly gregarious, communicative species, but the culture and the age and all the fear that fills our days have put almost everyone into little boxes, each of us all alone. But baseball, if we love it, gives us back our place in the crowd. It restores us.
