Letter to the Editor

In “Politics – The Theater of the Absurd,” May 23, letter writer El Sellers opens with “Once upon a time, baseball was the American national pastime. Not now. Today it’s politics.”

This is interesting because in baseball, facts, statistics, and reality matter. You can’t lose a game, and claim to have won it.

You can’t accuse your opponent of cheating without ironclad proof. You will not get far claiming the Commissioner, arbitrators, the owners, the umps, the media, and stadium security are all biased against you, and are “out to GET you.”
