I guess Phil Rizzuto was really on to something with his famous "Holy Cow!" home run calls
Over a 38 day stretch during the summer of 2012, four Middlebury College students embarked on the journey of a lifetime driving around the country to see a game at all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums in just 38 days. This experience was so much more than just a road trip, and we wanted to share the highlights from every extra inning nail-biter, overnight drive, Ozzie Guillen press conference, and intra-car political debate (it was an election year, after all) with all of you!

Biblical Baseball?
Here's a New York Times article about a class at NYU called "Baseball as a Road to God." Oh, and its taught by Dr. John Sexton, the President of NYU. In his words: "The real idea of the course is to develop heightened sensitivity and a noticing capacity. So baseball's not 'the' road to God. For most of us, it isn't 'a' road to God. But it's a way to notice, to cause us to live more slowly and to watch more keenly and thereby to discover the specialness of of our life and our being, and, for some of us, something more than our being." This is definitely an article worth checking out. Prop to Mimi Fahs, one of our loyal followers, for showing me this.

I guess that's why Kate Smith sings about God at the 7th inning stretch at Yankee Stadium.
