Mount Pleasant Magazine Jan/Feb 2018

67 www.CharlestonBrides.com | www.MPMcalendar.com | www.MountPleasantMagazine.com feature Baseball stuff happens between Halloween and Valentine’s Day. There’s the Winter Meetings, trades, free-agent signings and even World Series replays and other baseball- related programming on the MLB Network. So? It’s not the same. It doesn’t count. It’s not the real thing. It’s not retreating to my man cave every night and immersing myself in a soothing cocoon of heavenly baseball bliss – access to as many as 15 Major League games a day, every day, from the end of March until the regular season ends sometime around the first of October. Does life get any better than that? Once my TV has been co-opted by MLB Extra Innings – sort of like one of those old-time sci-fi movies, where the large-headed aliens from some planet a trillion light years away take control of every television set on God’s green Earth – nothing else really matters. North Korea is threatening to go to war with the United States and half our allies – the half we might actually like. So what? Unless, of course, that affects whether the Phillies will re-sign Hyun-soo Kim and if Shin-soo Choo will be in a Rangers’ uniform next year. Trump is about to resign before he is impeached. Tell me about it later, like maybe sometime in December, when I might possibly care. The Cleveland Browns won a football game. I’m calling bulls--t on you. So do yourself a big favor. Unless you’re interested in asking me baseball trivia questions or reliving every pitch of the 2008 World Series, stay the hell away from me until mid-February. Please show me the courtesy of letting me drown in my own personal sea of misery. If you need me for anything important, I’ll be up in the man cave reading “The Baseball Digest.” I have every copy from 1983 until “The Sporting News” stopped publishing it in 2006. But I guess you already knew that.
