Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is but one game and that game is baseball.
When baseball is no longer fun, it's no longer a game.
Baseball is a team game.
Baseball is a game, yes. It is also a business. But what is most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility, its almost leisurely pace, baseball is violence under wraps.
Baseball is a universe as large as life itself, and therefore all things in life, whether good or bad, whether tragic or comic, fall within its domain.

No game in the world is as tidy and dramatically neat as baseball, with cause and effect, crime and punishment, motive and result, so cleanly defined.
Baseball is more than a game. It's like life played out on a field.
There's not a single person in Arizona today who would say the Grand Canyon was a mistake.
