Great story about the good and bad of America’s pastime as a metaphor for America itself. I can just hear John Chancellor’s voice as I read it.

Finally, 400 pages in and my KC Royals are mentioned as an expansion team. What a grand old tradition is baseball, what better metaphor for the contradictions of America. Now, 30 years past the publication of Ken Burns’ Baseball, the seasons roll on, and even the Red Sox have finally beaten (4 times!) their curse. Optimism isn’t uniquely American, but I think we’ve won more pennants in it than anyone else.
