 A grown man, 70 years old, with a big old pot belly named Tommy Lasorda, wearing the same uniform as 22-year-old guys who sprint around the field or throw a baseball 95 miles an hour like he's one of the players. That's a game. I never confuse that with real life. There are lessons to be learned and applied, and I often use sports analogies because I find that people can identify if we get outside the political realm. But make no mistake.
