Listening to Hawk Harrelson on the
TV led me to embrace the mute button on the remote years ago. It drives Michele nuts. She’ll walk into the living room, and there I
am watching a picture without sound. I
like it that way, although she may have a point that it doesn’t much sense with
the news on.
Maybe it’s a bad habit, maybe not,
but I doubt I’ll be breaking it either way if and when baseball comes
back. So, I won’t likely be hearing all
those National League announcers try to come to terms with the advent of the DH
in their league. This seems to be the
one change owners and players will agree on for 2020. And I doubt players will want to give it back
come 2021 and beyond.
So, adieu, Joe Maddon batting his
pitchers in the eight-spot, and goodbye, all you starting pitchers imitating a
statue in the batter’s box. Did I say
“goodbye”? I meant “good riddance.”
