Baseball, while you're doing it, you think it's going to last forever.

Eternity's a terrible thought. I mean, where's it all going to end?

Your bat is your life. It's your weapon. You don't want to go into battle with anything that feels less than perfect.

Millions of hells of sinners cannot come near to exhaust infinite grace.

I just try to do my best every at-bat. That's what I plan to do.

I'm not concerned about all hell breaking loose, but that a PART of hell will break loose... it'll be much harder to detect.

I bat righty.

My world view is that it can all go to hell in an instant, and you have to be ready for it. That's pretty much the central theme running through my work. It's about people's awareness of how uncertain life can be and their trying to guard against that.

Doesn't anyone here think this sounds like a vision of hell? While we are all competing or dying, when will there be time for sex or music or books? Stop the world, I want to get off.
