No, it's not football. The current Major League baseball playoffs are underway and every game has been closely contested and exciting. This may render the upcoming World Series as anti-climactic.
The Baltimore Orioles - down three games to none - are facing elimination so for all my friends in Maryland I am reciting the final stanza of that famous poem "Casey at the Bat":
-Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright - the band is playing somewhere - and somewhere hearts are light. And somewhere men are laughing - and somewhere children shout - but there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.
