Baseball

It is at this time every year that a young man's focus is diverted from his studies and he focuses on a far loftier sphere, that of baseball. Once a year spectators see men turn to boys as they come from behind to stay in the playoffs. Every year Cubs fans' hope is resurrected only to be dashed to pieces. Every year people find themselves rooting against the perpetual evil that is the Yankees. In what other game do fans around the world 2/3 of the way through an intense game sing to reassure themselves it's only a game? Baseball gives us in modern society the glory that was Greece, and the grandeur that was Rome.
