A look at baseball: the field, the pauses, the pencil, and the people beside you. Read the essay, follow one illustrated half inning, and keep a small memory.
Baseball gives you a field to look at and enough space between its events to notice who came with you.
A PointCast look at the diamond, the pause before the next pitch, the pencil that keeps a game, and the small society in the seats. Read the essay, follow one illustrated half inning, and keep a small memory on your device.
The half inning is an original demonstration. The essay's factual references are linked beside the feature; the memories belong to the people who write them.
