The boy of summer

“When you see too many…baseball games, you tend to observe less and less of each.  You begin to lose your sense of detail and even recall.  Who won yesterday?  Ah, yesterday…  Too many games, and the loneliness, the emphatic, crowded loneliness of the itinerant, ravage fantasy.  Nothing on earth, Lardner said, is more depressing than an old baseball writer.”
