A boy cannot begin playing ball too early. I might almost say that while he is still creeping on all fours, he should have a bouncing rubber ball.

what’s it called when you long for another chance? nostalgic lust? whatever, i’d like another chance at being on all fours.
Hm, not sure about what term would be appropriate, but I do think one’s caretakers need to be in on the plan. Or at least fate needs to have a hand — a la Kurt Cobain using his time grounded in his room to play the guitar for hours on end.
Bummer that Cobain didn’t stick around for one more year, to see those 95 Mariners or maybe he wasn’t a baseball fan?…. but years like that could turn anyone to drink for joy.
Cobain and baseball — not something I’ve ever come across before, but it’s an interesting question. That might be a fun afternoon research project one of these days.
