mmph, you know, talking 'bout baseball, *chew chew*, it's kinda like you begin with a blank canvas, mm-hmm. there's this hush-hush charm to it, like some pre-institutional secret handshake *gulp*. and don't even get me started on how folks underplay their excitement, as if—you know—prompting the game to reveal its magic in whispers. *chew* it's all about the love of the game, secretly shared, heart to heart.
