On my way to class the other day, I ran into a
friend I hadn't seen since last spring
• Hey!” he shouted, "Who’s going to win the
pennant?”
I was slightly taken aback The question, of
course, seems logical enough After all, the
league playoffs were just getting underway Ba
seball was moving from the drama of the divi
sional races toward the World Series
But, coming from this friend, the question
was out of character You see, my friend is an
All-Pro armchair quarterback The only ball he
was familiar with was a pigskin spiral The only
pitcher he cared about was the one filled with
beer at his side
I recovered from my surprise, and assured my
friend that the St Louis Cardinals will fly to the top
of the baseball world this year
"The Cardinals!” he retorted "They won’t
even beat the Braves Murphy and Horner hit
more home runs this year than the entire Cardinal
team
True,” I said, still not believing what I was
hearing, "but the Cardinals’ speed makes up for
it And besides, they have Bruce Sutter in the
bullpen He had 36 saves this year, once the
Cards get a lead they won't be beat "
By this time I was dying to ask him when he
had discovered baseball, a sport he often de
scribed as sissy. “What could be fun about a
game like baseball,” I remember him saying. “The
only thing that ever gets hit is a little white ball,
and it never bleeds ”
It was, of course, a stupid question He
admitted his discovery of America’s pasttime
occurred just three weeks ago when he turned his
TV dial in search of his beloved Cowboy's and
found the Padres and Braves instead
"Those NFL slobs are nothing but a bunch of
egotistical, self-serving jerks," my friend said "All
they care about is padding their wallets ”
I sympathized with him, but I pointed out that
there are two sides to every conflict "NFL players
are underpaid,” I said, "especially when com
pared with other professional athletes The big
problem is, they want to change the system, not
just their bank accounts.”
"Yeah,” my friend said, "But they don't care
about the fans ”
"Sure they do,” I answered "That's one of
the reasons they tried to schedule those All-Star
games The person who is only thinking of himself
is Ed Garvey, the players' union leader He has
been unwilling to budge from his unrealistic
demand of 55-percent of gross revenue That's
the problem "
"Maybe so,” he replied, "but they don't have
the same feeling for the fans that baseball players
do Tommy Lasorda and the Dodgers were all out
on the mound last week saluting their fans for
supporting them so well, that is what sports is all
about. You know baseball drew a record number
of fans this year.”
“I know,” I said “That's very nice But do you
remember what baseball players treated the fans
to last season?”
It was another stupid question since my
friend had only been following baseball for three
weeks
"I know the Dodgers won the World Series,"
my friend answered
“The Dodgers didn’t even belong in the
playoffs," I said "Cincinnati had the best record
in baseball, but didn’t get to go to the playoffs
because of the strike which split the season in
half.”
"Oh well,” he said, ‘ that was last year. This
year is all that matters now, and the Braves are on
the way.”
“That is what the football people will be
saying a year from now," I said as I headed into
the classroom
"Who cares about football now,” my friend
yelled back "It’s three strikes and you’re out.”
