Baseball, the not-so-great American pastime...

Despite the over abundance of people willing to turn their back on baseball I will continue to be a fan of professional baseball. I do this because baseball stadiums are like churches. They're both full of sinners. Just because it's more apparent now then it has been in recent times does not mean that we should leave baseball (or the church) but rather focus on purity (which is Christ).

I am not surprised by the lists in the article. Baseball whored itself to the home run. It's a perfect analogy of sexual impurity. The home run is something sacred and glorious but should be saved for the appropriate times. Baseball chose not to practice discipline and patience but rather caved to the temptation of self-satisfaction. Now that the sin and impurity has been exposed there is nothing desirable left in the home run. Now baseball makes another mistake by seeking to be healed by scapegoating some of the biggest name players through trials and hearings. When will baseball listen to the preaching in the bleachers (which is a pulpit) and commit itself to purity (which is Christ)?
