Baseball

Hi all, I'm in the midst of writing a long nasty paper again, and just 
wanted to keep alive the possibility of the recreation topic.  I watched 
some of Ken Burn's Baseball tonight and became aware again as to the 
importance of it and other recreational possibilities (though none as 
cool as the national pastime).  Baseball encapsulates nearly all of the 
great national social debates we've had for over a century, including but 
not limited to the role of womyn, african-americans, and other 
minorities, McCarthyism, labor disputes, economic decline, and relations 
with the world (praise god for the sight of the Olympic Committee).  And 
hell, if you guys are so concerned about pro wrestling, I'm sure that 
could be made topical.  For those that hate pro wrestling, think of the 
vengeance you could take on teams that are silly enough to run it.  
Recreation is serious, y'all, and I think we should debate it.
