Michael Holloway's Baseball Blogs

Writing around the idea that baseball is a game slightly ahead of its time. A 'simple' game the qualities of which include physical and metaphysical paradoxes: the two dimensional diamond with-in the sphere; the struggle between individuals with-in a complex group dynamic.
Baseball is like a school of the Socratic method: it asks questions - the consideration of which lead to more questions - a process that illuminates a path towards critical thought.

BBA "Black Out" Commemorates "When New York Had Her Heart Broke"

My heart broke that day too. I think I remember the whole worlds' heart was broken... .

Some members of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance (BBA) are doing a "BBA Black Out", going dark - not publishing today - to commemorate the day, a moment of silence for those you died that day, and the days that have ensued I suppose (hope).

I thought it was a bad idea. I think today is a day to speak about what happened, so I post. Post to tell you what some other baseball writers are doing instead.

And to post this new release from John Hiatt.

Ironically - that is all I have to say. Now that the day is upon us I find it's a day to commemorate after all. A sad day, a day of reflection. Expressions of incredulity can wait until tomorrow.
