I hate to think that the golden age of baseball has already come and gone. I like to believe that the game is still driven by, well, the love of the game. Rookies, like short stop Alcides Escobar, may indeed be the life blood of today's contract-addled baseball times. I hope he brings his heart to the Show as a Milwaukee Brewer this season . . . and remembers what it was that got him hooked on the sport way back when.
