The pitcher threw Honus a curve ball, and he swung at it and missed and fell down. Looked helpless as a robin.

Well, Honus hit a line drive so hard the fence in left field went back and forth for five minutes.

Is success just about winning? Acclaim? Trophies? Wealth? Our personal happiness or satisfaction?

Something better. Something that will outlast the winningest season, the plushest corner office, the heftiest bonus and the loudest cheers. That something can only be found when we look beyond the final score.

It took time for the church to come to terms with the ignominy of the cross. Church fathers forbade its depiction in art until the reign of the Roman emperor Constantine.... Now, though, the symbol is everywhere: artists beat gold into the shape of the Roman execution device, baseball players cross themselves before batting, and cancy confectioners even make chocolate crosses for the faithful to eat during Holy Week. Strange as it may seem, Christianity has become a religion of the cross--the gallows, the electric chair, the gas chamber, in modern terms.

Statistics are the lifeblood of baseball. In no other sport are so many available and studied so assiduously by participants and fans.
