Tom Hagerty commented on Bill Stanton's blog post 'Why do people play baseball?'
I play because my parents were Detroit Tigers fans when I was a little kid. That made me want to play when I got older. In those days (early 1960s) all the kids I knew played baseball, some of it in organized leagues but much of it just pickup games…

The advantage that a humble man of true faith has is that he fears not for the future, even when the prognosis seems grim. I have some observations and thoughts about this extraordinary man.
