in the world of baseball, where the breeze gently passes by, filling the air with hope and the faint sound of cheering, there lies a pre-initiation process that not many speak of, as if it's almost taboo. yet, the unwritten decrees of the game silently command us to recommence with a new vision every season, to embrace the changes and challenges that come our way, transforming every taboo into a new tradition, a step forward into the heart of the game we love so dearly, and it's just... it's just so overwhelmingly beautiful.
