starrynet’s baseball sideblog! I’ll probably mostly use this sideblog to organize gifs. I’m still learning the rules of baseball and don’t really have team loyalties yet

“Baseball is about going home, and how hard it is to get there and how driven is our need. It tells us how good home is. Its wisdom says you can go home again but you cannot stay. The journey must always start once more, the bat an oar over the shoulder, until there is an end to all journeying. Nostos; the going home; the game of nostalgia, so apt an image for our hunger that it hurts.”

— A. Bartlett Giamatti - “Recall as the Series Ends, The Afternoon of the Fall”

maybe they didn’t try to make these bisexual on purpose, but I do love that there’s also a little bi-colored heart patch on the sleeves

People love to make fun of Archeologists for how often we say objects were used ritualistically, as if we overuse that designation or just say it when we a don't know what something was used for. But that's only because people don't stop to think how full of ritual all of our lives are.

The meme is actually correct for the most part, hotdogs are ritually consumed during baseball games. Lots of people only even eat hotdogs if they're watching baseball. The expectation for us to eat turkey on thanksgiving is another example of us ritually consuming food. Drinking coffee every morning is another ritual we do. Going to the gym several days a week is a ritual.

"Ritual" doesn't necessarily mean "religious."
