I would’ve thought that this was blasphemous 30 years ago. But as I get older and realize that I spend too much time and emotional energy on what should be a fun diversion, I listened to this at the right time. I am unlikely to give up the teams that I have been a passionate fan for, but I do find it easier to go to bed and not worry about the result of a late night game, or feel the need to pay attention to all 162 games.
It’s interesting to see that someone who has made their living following baseball can still have that passion, but not ride the emotional roller coaster of any one team. And can reconcile some of the distasteful things about stewards of the game while still enjoying the game itself.
