It has recently come to my attention that after yesterday's release of Spilled Ink's September issue many loving and caring members of the baseball family became gravely concerned with my allegiance to Major League Baseball.
Many thought that in my column "Last in the League" titled "Welcome to the main event" I openly claimed in my second paragraph that baseball is, from what I've heard, a "fake sport". I tell you baseball fans, nay. My love for the culture and history involved with Major League Baseball runs deep in my veins. I am very apperciative of the game and there is no more relaxing way to pass a summer day than kicking back in the ballpark, watching America's favorite pastime, and enjoying the warm weather. I merely intended to convey that I enjoy the fast paced, hard hitting, sensational events of the NFL after a long summer of baseball.
I do not retract or apoligize for my words ran in Thursday's paper. I wrote this piece to show you, baseball world, that I do care for you sport as much as you do.
So in summary, my preturbed reaaders, I do not have any negative feelings towards baseball. I just care about my beloved NFL more, a statement which I feel is fair and that any sane sports fan would agree with.
