The big block of text on the top of this blog says this:

“The Baseball Continuum is made up of every league, division, team, player and everything else baseball related, from the Majors all the way down to Little League. Ultimately, like a gigantic version of the Degrees of Kevin Bacon, everything in baseball ends up being connected to everything else. A player who you played in Little League might have played a person in High School who played a person in College who played a person in the Minors who then played somebody in the Major Leagues. And that person, ultimately, can probably then be connected in some way, shape or form to every other MLBer who ever played the game. And, of course, players sometimes go overseas, or play with people from overseas, expanding the universe of baseball beyond just the continent of North America to places in Asia, Latin America, Oceania, and even Europe and Africa. It all, in the end, is connected. And all of it is real. Some games might count more than others, some players may get paid more than others, and crowd sizes can be anywhere from zero to a hundred thousand, but in the end, it all is baseball. The greatest game in the world, a game as timeless as time itself. And, like time, we so often feels like we have too much but also too little of baseball. Some game can go on for hours upon hours, innings upon innings. But, yet, we want more. And more. And more. Those who complain should remember the words of Red Barber: “Baseball is dull only to dull minds.” So sit back, take a seat, and enter this, The Baseball Continuum, a blog by a young writer who has lived and breathed baseball since seemingly the day who was born, and who is fascinated by how everything in baseball is connected, no matter how different, no matter how popular or obscure. MLB, MiLB and anything below or to the side of it, this is The Baseball Continuum.”

Okay, so it’s a bit of a mouthful. But it sort of sums up what this blog will be about: baseball, baseball and more baseball, in all of it’s forms. While I will be the first to admit that there is probably no way I’d be able to truly cover everything that is baseball- apologies to the baseball players over in Iran– this blog will be one that isn’t just focused on one team, player or league, but whatever in baseball catches my eye.

So, welcome to the Baseball Continuum, I hope you enjoy your stay.
