And baseball was proof positive that democracy was real.A baseball box score,after all,is a democratic thing.It dosen't say how big you areor what religion you follow.It does not know how you votedor the color of your skin.It simply states what kind of ballplayer you were on any particular day.
棒球是民主存在的正向指标。毕竟棒球的得分表是一个民主的东西。它不会告诉你,你块头多大,或是你信什么宗教。也无从得知,你怎么投票,或你的肤色。它只会显示任何特定的日子,你在球场的表现如何。
