Bart Giamatti again

"It breaks your heart. It was designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again,

• and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come,

• it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.

• You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then,

• just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops"....

From "The Green Fields of the Mind," by A. Bartlett Giamatti (a Red Sox fan).
