On the other hand if baseball is a mirror of American culture, what we see in that mirror today cannot be reassuring. The rituals of spring have begun. Normally this would be the week that pitchers and catchers arrive in camp, and everyone would be anxiously awaiting the arrival of the rest of the players. The air should be full of optimism as the rites of renewal and rebirth are played out. Instead what we have is an absurdity that can inspire no one, wrapped in mantel of greed, avarice, and dissembling.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • The Boston Red Sox Saturday, June 22, 2019 * the Boston Globe
    The Boston Red Sox Saturday, June 22, 2019 * The Boston Globe A familiar name made his own path to the big leagues Peter Abraham Mike — forget his last name for now — had a chance to sign for $300,000 after his junior year at Vanderbilt but turned down the Seattle Mariners because he promised his mother Anne-Marie back home in Andover that he would get his degree. He got that degree and was named first-team All-SEC and third-team All-American as a senior. The Orioles drafted him and this time he signed. Mike rose quickly in the organization, getting to Triple A in 2016. But he never could quite break through and was traded to the Giants at the end of spring training this season. Finally, after 703 minor league games, Mike was called up to the majors May 25 at the age of 28. That’s old for a rookie but not too old to achieve a lifelong dream. With his mother and wife watching from the stands at Oracle Park, Mike scored his first run that night and had three hits the next day. He has been in the lineup almost every day since and hit well. “At some point I just wanted to get there even for one day just to say I did it,” Mike said. “That was the goal, just one day. My wife was my biggest supporter. My mom was, too. This has been a big thing for my family.” It’s a heck of a story, one of persistence in the face of obstacles.
