2022 mileage: 1027.8
Eager tor the approaching (but still distant) baseball season, during today's ride I watched my favorite baseball movie: Field of Dreams. This gave me a ride of 25.9 miles in 1:43. And I was struck again, as I have been numerous times before, by this quotation, spoken by the character Terrence Mann (played by James Earl Jones). It can send chills up the spine of the most ardent baseball fan:
"They'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."
