"The long-time sportswriter for the Washington Post, Thomas Boswell, wrote a timeless piece collected in a book of the same name, Why Time Begins On Opening Day, published in 1984. Boswell muses on the 'resolute grasp' that baseball maintains for so many of us" and why our 'affection for the game has held steady for decades, maybe even grown with age.' He asks what baseball is doing among our other 'first-rate passions.' And, indeed, when one looks over the posts on this blog, it could seem incongruous to have baseball up there with such serious and important issues as social justice, civil rights and capital punishment."
