Traveling today, I had time for a few New York sports sections and got thinking: one of the great things about baseball is its complexity; one of the other things that I love about it is the way that the patterns of the game repeat themselves. Man on first and third, one out, ball popped up over second, you know where to look, and what to look for, and how to judge the aesthetics of what is happening in front of you. Similarly, we know that ever year the Yankees will sign a new superstar, and that every year that star will struggle at the plate through April. It must be nice to be a New York sports writer-- you can do the story you are going to file on this one in February, during that horrible slack time between the Super Bowl and the NCAA Hoops tournaments.
