The sports world is an echo chamber. All it takes is one quote from a general manager and a thousand sports columns bloom.
Baseball is this intense subculture that actually doesn't speak very much for the larger culture.

The sentimentality of baseball is very deeply rooted in the American baseball fan. It is the one sport that is transmitted from fathers to sons.
My judgement is not good when I am on a book tour. I am not thinking about it that much. What happens is I will go back home. I have a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old and a wife who is now taking care of them who is wondering where her husband is.
