“Baseball is the slow creation of something beautiful. It is the almost boringly paced accumulation of what seems slight or incidental into an opera of bracing suspense.

It’s the drowsy metamorphosis of the dull into the indescribable.” EndsSeemsMightBeautifulGamesForceWonderCreationBaseballSuspenseDullOperaAccumulationMetamorphosisSomething BeautifulIndescribableDrowsy Author:Joshua Ferris
