What a week! A week so jam-packed with events and substance that we couldn’t contain the baseball to just one Sunday. Yes this week — and this weekend especially — taught us that no human-made events or objects could stand in the way of baseball. That’s right, no shitty job at a tech company that’s left you hollow inside, nor mass virtue signaling over conflicts that span centuries, nor a really annoying divot on the pitcher’s mound could keep us from the throws of that great art we call baseball.
And as we all know, history was made this week. Yep, the very first sweep in PBL history was settled by the Gentilly Giants against the home Fifth Ward Weebies! Three nights filled with highs and lows graced the hallowed ground of Perry Roehm and left us with a special moment in baseball history. The series also left us with broken glasses and an excellent pun to round out the first paragraph.
If you missed it, look up “throes” and realize that, much like life itself, baseball too is filled with suffering (don’t worry, its the good kind — probably).
