Flannery: Affairs of the Heart Articles AFFAIRS OF THE HEART* MICHAEL T. FLANNERY** Baseball will be linked forever with family. Baseball is reminis- cent of fathers and sons holding hands as they enter their first ballpark together, bonding as they crack open peanuts, reach for foul balls, and cheer for their hometown heroes. While the con- cept of "Yankee" baseball particularly epitomizes these ideals, it also conjures images of sex, scandal, Hollywood stars, and tragic downfalls. In the minds of many, Yankee heroes are gods. Ultimately, however, they are just mortal men. And mortal men do not escape the randomness of life's adversities. All of our Yankee heroes have confronted the same personal issues that almost all families face, including death, divorce, custody debates, estate squabbles, domes- tic controversies, and drug addictions. For Yankee players in partic- ular, it seems the list is all too familiar. In dealing with family issues, many of our Yankee heroes have responded poorly.

Seventh-‐Inning Stretch
Eric Firestone Gallery Presents: Seventh-Inning Stretch Curated by Carlo McCormick and Eric Firestone August 17 - September 9, 2013 Opening Reception: Saturday, August 17th, 6:00-9:00pm Artists include - Daniel Arsham, Slater Bradley, William Coupon, Carlton DeWoody, Sebastian Errazuriz, Tony Fitzpatrick, Elissa Goldstone, Susan Grayson, Jeanette Hayes, Neil Jenney, Deborah Kass, Hiro Kurata, Eva LeWitt, Justin Lowe & Jonah Freeman, Andrea Mary Marshall, Mint & Serf, Guy Overfelt, Raymond Pettibon, Garrett Pruter, Kathy Rudin, Tom Sanford, Shelter Serra, Randy Slack, Jim Thompson, JJ Veronis, Nari Ward, Eric White, Wendy White, Rob Wynne, and Dustin Yellin East Hampton, NY: Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to announce the group exhibition Seventh-Inning Stretch, a selection of contemporary artworks exploring, employing and imploring our favorite national pastime, baseball. The exhibition does not delineate the sport's history nor ratify its tradition. Rather, McCormick explains that the show is "[a] modest sampling of some of the ways in which baseball has entered the lexicon of contemporary visual art; Seventh-Inning Stretch is hopefully a meditation on how and why we care. It is about the excitement we feel and the beauty of the boredom that borders on ennui." Oh, and we do care a whole lot! Whether it be the season or not, baseball is entrenched in American culture and safely protected by our state borders. It's ours, alone, not overrun by tourists nor affected by our globalized that iPhone generation. We're the only ones who understand it: we all know it, love it, hate it, follow it, play it, watch it, are bored by it, smell it, can nearly taste it, and empathize with it.

The New York Yankees, Philadelphia/Oakland Athletics, and St. Louis Cardinals have won many. The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and San Francisco Giants endured decades-long dry spells before they finally won the orldW Series. Even expansion teams like the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals, and Florida Marlins have won multiple championships. Other expansion teams like the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers have been to the Fall Classic multiple times, although they did not win. Then we have the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have not been to a World Series since 1945, and have not won one since 1908.

Baseball, the Red Sox Always Made Them Glad They Came
The Curse is Reversed PROLOGUE (The stage is quiet and dark, except for an eerie, blue glow emanating from a TV set that sits downstage center. The screen of the TV faces upstage towards a couch.) ANNOUNCER Well, if you're a Red Sox fan you’ve got to be asking yourself: is this the moment I’ve been waiting 68 years for? It’s the middle of the tenth inning of the sixth game of the 1986 World Series, and the Boston Red Sox are leading the New York Mets by a score of five to three. (A middle-aged man dressed in a bathrobe enters, carrying an infant. He settles on the couch, his face illuminated by the glow from the TV.) ANNOUNCER Which means the Sox are just three outs away from what has eluded them, in often frustrating fashion since 1918, a World Series championship. (The lights rise on the Father. The sound from the television fades.) FATHER (Speaking to his daughter) I know you’re too young to realize what’s happening, but someday you’ll be able to tell your children that you saw the Red Sox finally win a World Series. You know you come from a long line of Red Sox fans. Did I ever tell you that your grandfather worked for the Red Sox? Maybe that’s where we got this family tradition of having our hearts ripped beating from our chests every year. ANNOUNCER You know, back in 1920 Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees and the Red Sox, who had won five of the first 15 World Series ever, haven’t won another one since.
