Orioles Magic

Well, maybe not.  But I did tell my classes that the end of the regular baseball season is like nothing I've ever seen in 25 years of watching baseball.  To have one team (the Rays) come back from a 7 run deficit to win, another team lose in 12 innings and a third team winning in the bottom of the ninth--well, it can't get any better!

I would really love to see more of my students enjoy baseball.  There is a high level of "baseball ignorance" in my class, even among students that are football/basketball fans.  I hope MLB's Urban Youth Academy program, or something, will encourage more young urban youth to at try the sport out.
