Yes, very much like chess. Even more so in the National League.

I played intramural softball in college, but d@mn we sucked. Four guys including myself played baseball in high school, but you'd never guess by how terrible we were.

If I'm back in my hometown and I drive by one of the ball fields with a game going on, I'll stop as well. Brings back a lot of good memories.

That's some pretty cool experiences you had. One day I'll see a game at Wrigley and Fenway.

Almost went to a Cubs game at Wrigley a couple years ago, but I came the wrong week and they were playing the South Siders at Comiskey, or whatever it's called now.

Next time I'll read the schedule closer!
