MLB

Instead of an X-Files rerun, the ninth inning of the Dodgers/Giants baseball game fuzzed into view on my TV yesterday afternoon. Serendipity. Watching Steve Finley's grand slam and the incredible come-from-behind victory that clinched the NL West pennant for the Dodgers ignited my baseball fever. After many years of banked fires, I felt adrenalin stabs of excitement, pulse race, breath quicken and yes, yes, yes!

It was better than sex. It made me want to read again Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella, and watch the video of Field of Dreams.

I'm in love again. His initials are MLB.
