Dude. Impressive. I'd read these previews even if I didn't care about baseball.

Yeah, same here. I love this line:
I feel the twilight of the days of good hunting.

I went through Ron's Facebook photos and the whitest person I could find wasn't in a dress, he was in a blue and white striped shirt smoking a cigar.

Excellent story, RB! Very well written as always!
-
Great work.

You guys.
Thanks.

Good job Ron. I know three lady dudes. Two look like guys in dresses. The other, is actually kind of pretty.

I know this looks bad but I think I need to explain how a part of my mind works here.
These tales are all true. All of these people and situations are real, but when you read those stories, they're really about the team or on a rare occasion, this site. In this case, the guy is a metaphor for the team. Lack of identity, NL team in AL clothes, masculine to feminine, caught in transition - all of these things apply, plus a few others. The Astros are very much a guy in a dress.
The hunt is how I feel about my writing in general, and more specifically how I feel about my writing for the site.
How many more of these stories do I have in me? I don't know. Maybe the barrel is bottomless, maybe there's only a couple left. I have no idea, because I don't plan these things out, they just kind of take on a life of their own once I start.
Anyway, there you go. I promised I wasn't going to provide an answer key, but I did, as pretentious as that is and I apologize for it. I just felt I needed to be clear with everyone and to let them know that although there is a literal component to them, these things ain't completely meant to be taken literally. Just partly.

good job. you can explain all you want, and I still won't understand it. I read what you write.

I desperately want this talent (http://www.baseball-almanac.com/quotes/casey_stengel_senate_testimony.shtml). I will never have it.

If you are ancient or forty-five or fifty and have acquired enough money to go to a ballgame, you cannot drive a car on a highway, which is very hard to do after forty-five, to drive on any modern highway and if you are going to stay home you need radio and television to go along for receipts for the ball club.

Finally got around to reading this, RB. I loved it.
Keep writing, we'll keep reading.
