Diamond time over six different decades was accumulated as an extremely competitive pitcher, center-fielder and shortstop. The author steps into the metaphorical batter’s box of chin music as a lone crusader in the quest to right a major wrong of society, normalized acceptance of cheating in baseball, in the vein of Curt Flood and free agency and Jackie and racism. Nicknamed “Balls” on his mid-70’s Cowboy baseball team, his ball playing experiences in the Garden State, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Florida provide metaphorical field-level and game-speed perspective on culture war issues. Houston, an epicenter of synthetic ballplayers of all ages, was the stage for both later life senior ball as a player and youth ball as a coach. The author was a #1 overall draft pick as a pitcher in the same college league that the Rocket participated in and was not. He tallied just shy of 200 amateur mound victories against fewer that 60 defeats. Being an offspring of a Daughter of the American Revolution who worked in a high security position in the FDR administration and a father born into the Christian cleansing campaign known as the Bolshevik Revolution, his convictions are deep-seated with baseball viewed as a strike zone of supernatural versus Marxian materialistic ideologies. Intimate knowledge of the sources of synthetic enhancement, the Hitler and Stalin regimes, exists. His father grew up under the harsh brutality of the Lenin/Stalin Communist regimes and fought in Operation Barbarossa during WW II against the Nazis and as a Polish Combatant fought against the Soviets and what they stood for as a rogue warrior. The personalities of the author’s university mascots, Cowboys and Mavericks and Dead Ball Era grandpa is reflected in his writings. His focus is on Founding principles with a value system weighting experiences over material possessions. His personity is the epitome of the anti-Marx!показать меньше
