Baseball Quote for the Day

"God, I just love baseball." - Robert Redford in The Natural (1984)
----------------------------

Today we celebrate the most recognizable symbol in the entire world - our
nation's flag. Old Glory stands for freedom, hope, equality, and countless
other ideals. What many do not know about the flag is that it stands for so
much more. Each color, stripe and star has deeper meaning beyond what the
eye can see.

White signifies purity and innocence; red, hardiness and valor; and blue
signifies vigilance, perseverance and justice. The star is a symbol of the
heavens and the divine goal to which mankind has aspired from time
immemorial; the stripe is symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the
sun.

At a time when our nation has been tested relentlessly and patriotism has
become a way of life, our nation's pastime is facing a crucial turning
point. It seems ironic that the players and owners of Major League
Baseball - with its logo bleeding red, white and blue - cannot reach an
agreement to save the game that has been brought to a halt eight times since
1972. Something needs to change. That is what this is all about.

In an era where a player's potential - not experience - earns him millions
and where corporate suites are more important than bleachers, the only one
who suffers is the true baseball fan. It is time to organize a Baseball Fan
Association. You can help. It starts right here, right now with
MLBFanStrike.com.
