More From Charles Krauthammer

There are several differences between a football game and a revolution. for one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. also, there are usually more casualties in a football game. the object of the game is to move a ball past the other team's goal line. this counts as six points. no points are given for lacerations, contusions, or abrasions, but then no points are deducted, either. kicking is very important in football. in fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.

I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. i went out there and dribbled all day long. i wanted to play basketball. then id go baseball, and then id go to football. i remember playing football in a plowed field. i grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.

At the center, where a cuckoo bird would live in a more traditional timepiece, is the juggler. dressed in harlequin style with a grey mask, he juggles shiny silver balls that correspond to each hour. as the clock chimes, another ball joins the rest until at midnight he juggles twelve balls in a complex pattern. after midnight the clock begins once more to fold in upon itself. the face lightens and the clouds return. the number of juggled balls decreases until the juggler himself vanishes. by noon it is a clock again, and no longer a dream.

The ideas of primary qualities of bodies, are resemblances of them, and their patterns do really exist in the bodies themselves; but the ideas, produced in us by these secondary qualities, have no resemblance of them at all. there is nothing like our ideas, existing in the bodies themselves. they are in bodies, we denominate from them, only a power to produce those sensations in us: and what is sweet, blue or warm in idea, is but the certain bulk, figure, and motion of the insensible parts in the bodies themselves, which we call so.

My aim is to say that the machinery of the heavens is not like a divine animal but like a clock (and anyone who believes a clock has a soul gives the work the honour due to its maker) and that in it almost all the variety of motions is from one very simple magnetic force acting on bodies, as in the clock all motions are from a very simple weight.

Praise the name of baseball. the word will set captives free. the word will open the eyes of the blind. the word will raise the dead. have you the word of baseball living inside you? has the word of baseball become part of you? do you live it, play it, digest it, forever? let an old man tell you to make the word of baseball your life. walk into the world and speak of baseball. let the word flow through you like water, so that it may quicken the thirst of your fellow man.

In baseball, my theory is to strive for consistency, not to worry about the numbers. if you dwell on statistics you get shortsighted; if you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end.

Say 'dodgers' and people know you're talking about baseball. say 'braves' and they ask, 'what reservation?' say 'reds' and they think of communism. say 'padres' and they look around for a priest.
