I took my wife and one of my daughters to a Dodger game over the weekend It was great, even in the 100 degree heat. I'd forgotten what a great game baseball is. One thing I love about the major leagues is they still use wooden bats...so you can still hear the crack! when someone connects, not the annoying tink that you hear everywhere else. What I don't like is how the players wear their uniforms. The pants are way too tight and I can't see the socks! Baseball pants should come just below the knees, not down to the ankles. Only one Dodger wore his uniform correctly, showing off his socks, and get this: he's the leading hitter on the squad. Coincidence? I think not.
Speaking of basball, check out Mark William's Danger Boy . It involves time travel, a talking dinosaur, and baseball. Best of all, it's some of the best writing I've seen in a while. The first book in the series is called Ancient Fire. Greg
