The Catholic Church in which I was baptized has spent the past decade equivocating on accepting financial or ethical responsibility for becoming a haven of child predators.

In the way of counter-argument, I present the idyllic settings of ballparks, the tactical nuance that goes into every strategic decision, and the unmatched tension of a ninth-inning nail-biter. Sadly, all of these elements were absent from Harvard’s Sunday doubleheader with Columbia. The vista beyond the fences of O’Donnell Field is nothing to marvel at.
