“'The Only Game' as Babe Ruth once called it."

This is from my brother Joe.

“'The Only Game' as Babe Ruth once called it."

With the falling of honest Hank's home run record and the surreal spectacle surrounding this event, I suppose you can now say the diva-ization of baseball is now complete.

It is now about individual achievement and push aside team accomplishment. We all can thank the players union and their accomplices. Money hungry team owners for the mess baseball now finds itself in.

The post ' 94 baseball world has led to mass visual advertising in every location a T.V. camera can spot, in ball yards more liken to pinball machine design yet with traditional edifices to hide it. Fit all this with the carnival like atmosphere of massive overblown caricatures sporting almost pajama like uniforms and the post strike era has wrought its prize.

Begun by the commercialization of the other pursuit for the most cherished record in baseball the circle is now complete. Hopefully the supposed guardians of the sport can now go forwards to recapture the true beauty of the only game as Babe Ruth once called it.

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in 2014 after the invasion of Crimea, “[is] playing a poker game with a pair of twos and winning.” Of increasing Russian diplomatic and geopolitical influence in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, The Economist asked in 2019, “How did a country with an economy the size of Spain … ach

Book Review: The Banished Heart: Origins of Heteropraxis in the Catholic Church by Dr. Geoffrey Hull (minor update)

http://theradtrad.blogspot.com/2013/08/book-review-banished-heart-origins-of.html Book Review: The Banished Heart: Origins of Heteropraxis in the Catholic Church by Dr. Geoffrey Hull (minor update) Dr Geoffrey Hull source: Wikipedia.org Once every now and then one finds an author capable of approaching a daunting subject with remarkable clairvoyance, not muddling himself among polemics or minutiae. Dr. Geoffrey Hull is one such author. His  The Banished Heart: Origins of Heteropraxis in the Catholic Church  recalls that old saying that the truth is not between two positions, but rather above them. Hull examines the roots of the twentieth century liturgical overhaul by rising above the disputes between liberals and traditionalists that have raged on for five decades and taking a long, far-sighted look back centuries more, to the late first millennium, when the Roman liturgy was maturing, the Roman patriarchate was expanding its missionary presence in Western and Eastern Europe, and the
