Nice segway

We live in a rat race world, edging to get ahead, to reach home faster, get to our seat faster, log into our computer faster. Once and awhile, we get to relax and not worry about pace, about getting there first.  We get reminded that slowing down can work.  It is rare, and does not always work, but walking from the train, or bus or subway to the ballpark is a nice experience.


These 4 are used to racing, to get the crowd involved, to hit the red tape at the finish ahead of the 3 others, and we applaud.  Try sitting back, take another sip and enjoy the moment.  Try scoring the game, and don't worry if you get lost, try a seventh inning stretch, to not freak out the next time mustard spills on your shirt.

When you do, you are going to find it an different trip, a different experience, and you avoid the trip and fall, avoid disappointments, you missed being the first in the row but you made a friend.

Okay, sounds a little sappy, "make a new friend" but the game itself is trying to speed up, and yet instant reply is nature's way of saying, slow the hell down.



Get some perspective to the game, and you cannot get perspective racing from the office or the job to your seat and get your food and drink to return to your seat, baseball does not really allow for that.

It is the game within a game.   Try and figure out if the strategy will work, second guess the managers, did the hitter out smart the pitcher.

While the season seems to go on forever, there is a reason for that, you are supposed to regard the whole picture, the ups and downs.



To give the team a chance, and the fan as well.

Let the game come to you and sit back and enjoy the experience.
