The home part is interesting:  you try to get home, what Giamatti 
describes as the soul of romanticism, from Homer on, but Tyrone, as 
far as we know, never does.  He falls apart, his personality disbands 
in the Zone, which is certainly not home.  And it all begins again.  
GR is an anti-romance--and baseball's sinister=ness might be in it's 
existence as a kind of abstract romance...
