The beauty and nuances of baseball charm me far more than the statistics. However, the dimensional aspects of the game provide a perfect framework for the encompassing majesty.
It is simply amazing that with all the advancements in equipment and training, decade after decade, a bobbled grounder still makes for a close play at first. A quick turn at second is needed for a DP. And pitcher-batter duels are won by each side.
There is something magical about 90 feet between bases and 60 feet, six inches from pitching rubber to home plate.
And it all adds up to one of life's great pronouncements, "Play ball!"
