The World Series between the New York Yankees (yeah!) and the Philadelphia Phillies starts tonight, and already there is much talk about how the game and the series has been marred by steroids, big money, etc.
But as an arts lover I have to say I watch baseball for its aesthetics — the crisp crack of the bat, the field fanning out to embrace infinity, the gracefulness of a well-tempered double play. Small wonder baseball has been the subject of numerous visual and literary works.
I'm wondering if other baseball fans and arts aficionados feel the same way. Do all the recent controversies taint the beauty of the game?
