Ever wonder why you do this

[bkbjones]

If you ever wonder why you participate in this avocation, maybe you will be lucky enough to have a game like this.

This was a playoff game:
Visitors 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -- 0 2 0
Home 0 0 1 0 0 0 x -- 1 3 0

Not that many strikeouts...no walks. The three hits by the home team came in the same inning. Visitors went 14 up, 14 down before first hit, line drive to left for clean single. Other single (of course) came in seventh with two outs. Next batter almost drew first BB of game, but on 3-0 swung at ball four and hit two hopper to 1B for the ball game.

No, it wasn't a perfect game, or a no-hitter. No, I didn't have a perfect game either. But it was a lot of fun...and one of those to recall when I wonder what in the hell am I doing, doing this.

I hope you have one -- or one thousand -- games like that.
