When I was young I loved baseball, I have some basal cell today to prove it. We would play till too dark to see the ball. Connie Mack was just a bus and el ride and bleachers cost as low as 25 cents. Today, I have lost interest even though I still enjoy playing, and carry gloves in the car. Salaries and cost are just too absurd. But one of my favorite liberal political philosophers wrote a letter worth sharing.
"Rawlss retelling of his conversation with Kalven can be taken as evidence of his remarkable powers of recall. Or it might be read as a tribute to the generosity of his spirithis well-known inclination to give credit to others for his own ideas. In either event, his letter is part of a traditionof spending Saturdays writing long, leisurely lettersthat has all but vanished in the age of emails." Owen Fiss
From John Rawls:
"First: the rules of the game are in equilibrium: that is, from the start, the diamond was made just the right size, the pitchers mound just the right distance from home plate, etc., and this makes possible the marvelous plays, such as the double play. The physical layout of the game is perfectly adjusted to the human skills it is meant to display and to call into graceful exercise. Whereas, basketball, e.g., is constantly (or was then) adjusting its rules to get them in balance."
