| 1 | Baseball is a wonderful form of education. The ways we have of learning about baseball are better than our ways of learning about anything else....The game is open to you if you're a poet or an accountant, if you're a left-brain or a right-brain person. Nothing else in this country does so good a job of teaching the public about itself. |
