The Beauty of the Game
I am a baseball fan at the core. I love sports in general, and it is NOT that I hate football. I LOVE football. I got to watch the Gophers beat Iowa yesterday and it was glorious! But I truly love the game of baseball. This World Series really restored a lot of that fun. I will not disagree that…
