That video gives me chills. Reminds me a little of the Dee Gordon home run after Jose Fernandez passed. I just wish these wonderful moments weren't born out of such painful ones.
Also, I know this isn't the point, but I propose that the pitcher after an Opener -- the one who ostensibly will go the longest -- be called the Headliner. Short, clean, less clunky than "Main Event" or "Top Billing." Headliner. You heard it here first.
Great stuff, Joe. To pick one nit, “you can feel it all over” is actually a lyric in the chorus of Stevie Wonder’s song “Sir Duke,” but you can tell right away (from letter A) what you meant.

There’s crying in reading about baseball too.
Amazing, amazing, amazing. 454 feet. That sounds to 450. Geez.

Great words from a grear writer about a great game. The movie script could not have written it as wll as reality created it.
Just another example of why I love this game.
Wow - that’s all I can think of to say to this, thanks so much
