  • Baseball as Metaphor for Something or Other
    Aug 21 2024

    Steve wants to talk America's pastime--little league, minors, and The Show; Kelly, who through no fault of his own ended up an Los Angeles of Anaheim California Angels fan, is not really following the action this year. Instead, he tries to introduce Steve to some serious LITERATURE, which Steve naturally resists. If this sounds fun, then you've got good instincts. Pull up a stool and ask the bartender to turn on the game.
