Thought you may be interested: http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/98/dylan/lineup.html 2nd....wow. Deep stuff. But I guess the reason i like baseball is for me, its the most elegant of games. The pacing, the swinging of the bat, the ball against the sky. it just has a grace other games dont. And for me, I invest my team with qualities I cherish. I know full well that they really don't—for the most part. But for some reason i can't explain...i am them, and they are me. i don't know why i do this, why i must. But it is, and so I try to enjoy.
