... that everyone says "get back to baseball" to me when we get "too" political, but that we get insanely long participative threads when we talk about anything except baseball?

Or is it just that everyone nods their head and says "Oh, dead on!" when I write about baseball? Nah, I'm not that good.

Baseball is our common thread. We have discussions about everything from politics to file sharing, from movies to hip-hop, yet in the end, our one commonality is baseball. We probably don't agree on that, but in the end, whatever our race, creed, nationality, religion, gender, background, sexuality, party identification, or idiocy, we all can agree on one thing.

Baseball rules.
