I was with you thru the last one...but i dunna think TRP is a
baseball man...doesn't appeal to his more ominous imagination...nope,
i think he watches football, maybe college ball--no game is more
genuinely unindividual, more plotted from above, more about systems
of control than personal expression...He loves the "marking the
screen with a virtual marker" effect...
