George Carlin had a funny routine
celebrating the supremacy of baseball over football
celebrating the supremacy of baseball over football
though it would have worked equally well pitting
baseball over hockey or basketball or soccer or bowling
because unlike those sports baseball is unbounded
by sidelines or gutters and only a baseball game holds
the possibility of never ending;
my son once lived in an apartment formerly inhabited by George Carlin
and I asked once if he had ever seen George Carlin’s ghost
recognizing how silly a question I had just posed because
ghosts if they exist are earth-bound
while George Carlin like baseball is not deterred by physics.
