Opinion
After strike strike-induced
seperation, baseball and life come back together again
By DAVID EPPS
Pastor
Up until
Tuesday evening, I hadn't watched an entire major
league baseball game this season. The baseball strike
pretty much ruined me for big-time baseball. Since
the strike, I haven't bought a baseball ticket,
haven't spent any money on caps, jerseys, or any of
that other stuff, and haven't really cheered for any
major league team. Not even Atlanta.
