“Baseball's clock ticks inwardly & silently, and a man absorbed in a ball game is caught in a slow, green place of removal & concentration & in a tension that is screwed up slowly & ever more tightly with each pitcher's windup and with the almost imperceptible forward lean & little half-step with which the fielders accompany each pitch. Whatever the pace of the particular baseball game we are watching, whatever its outcome, it holds us in its own continuum and mercifully releases us from our own.”
