Baseball is more than a sport it is a cultural thing. And just when players and spectators are ready for the pleasantries of the “Seventh Inning Stretch”, fans are leaving the stadium. Not because of rain, but because malevolent forces have changed the umpires from those who love the sport to those who hate it. What’s more, arbitrary changes in rules and regulations will be made even during a game. With runs being discovered the next day, the Committee of Public Safety will choose the winner. Beyond the metaphor, ordinary life and most businesses will continue to suffer the passions of today’s political furies.
Traditional protections against political power and ambition have been suddenly reduced.
As seen lately, those who make the rules, don’t bother to observe them.
