Traditionally, baseball punishes preening. In a society increasingly tolerant of exhibitionism, it is splendid when a hitter is knocked down because in his last at bat he lingered at the plate to admire his home run.

Traditionell bestraft Baseball das Putzen. In einer Gesellschaft, die gegenüber dem Exhibitionismus immer toleranter ist, ist es großartig, wenn ein Schlagmann niedergeschlagen wird, weil er sich in seinem letzten Schläger auf dem Teller aufhielt, um seinen Heimlauf zu bewundern.

When we went home every winter, they warned us not to lift heavy weights because they didn't want us to lose flexibility. They wanted us to be baseball players, not only home run hitters.

I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don't get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself.
