My adopted home is a baseball town. Some years that’s spelled
BASEBALL!!!
Sorry. Didn’t mean to shout. It’s one of those habits a person picks up after several years in a place.
Every town and city needs a little local, civic pride. And it’s not a bad thing to have it associated with a sports team. Pick a sport you’re fond of. Follow the team in the media. And if possible — attend a game in person.
Where else can you shout, jump, and yell in public without drawing the attention of the police? So much the better if the home team wins.
I knew these silent athletes existed. I’d walked past them more than once on my excursions to downtown St. Louis. I have no excuse for not taking their photo on prior occasions.
Not one. Not two. An entire team of Hall of Fame players welcome you to the game.
