Catch up and baseball

I dont remember the reason for not posting to this blog for the past while. I though have decided that to share some thoughts on the things that go on around me is important to balance out the ideas in my head.

Some things that I will be talking about:

-Baseball

My intrigue surrounding baseball has been circling. What is this game? I dont understand baseball entirely. I remember going to games with my dad. Mariners games. We sat in the bleachers and for my birthday my name was in lights. I remember there was a swag bag to that I got from the team. I dont remember that as much. I do remember watching Randy Johnson pitching, and I remember Junior hitting. I remember that famous moment when Edgar had that hit, and Junior came running around third. I was watching that with my mom and my dad, my dad watching the TV and cheering. I dont think I had seen my dad so full of emotion. It was cool. I was watching a game. But it was more than that we were a bunch of people hanging out in front of a TV. And well Alex Rodriguez leaving. And then winning 116 games. That was baseball for me growing up.

It was also more. I played baseball. I was not good at playing baseball. Baseball was a strange thing. I was homeschooled. Looking back now I think what it was about baseball was the team and it may still be. Baseball may be all about the guys on the team reaching for a larger goal. But I think really what the team was about was everyone who was on it filling into their roles. And letting people be themselves.

So this season and look at that I am already two games behind. I will follow baseball. Its strange. I think even for me to learn from a sport. But it isnt about baseball. Its about life.
