It is not enough to offer a smorgasbord of courses. We must insure that students are not just eating at one end of the table. No one man is superior to the game.On a good day, I view the job of president as directing an orchestra. On the dark days, it is more like that of a clutch-engaging the engine to effect forward motion, while taking greater friction. On matters of race, on matters of decency, baseball should lead the way. Teachers believe they have a gift for giving; it drives them with the same irrepressible drive that drives others to create a work of art or a market or a building. Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process. There are a lot of people who know me who can't understand for the life of them why I would got to work on something as unserious as baseball. If they only knew. There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind. There's nothing bad that accrues from baseball. |
