...competitions (aside from the largely ignored Olympics) to inflame nationalistic prejudices, or perhaps because some of our best players are foreign-born, baseball fans heartily embrace players from Japan, Mexico, Korea, the Dominican Republic, and all over the world, without a hint of xenophobia or prejudice. The increasing international flavor of the game is the most exciting trend in baseball of recent years, and if the behavior of the fans at Fenway is any indication, we are more than just accepting of foreign players, we're even willing to learn their language...

A word of advice: it is an exercise in absurd and repetitive gluttony to order either mussels or calamari as an appetizer followed...
...deserved honorific for one who stands taller and sees farther than most of us. In these days of shortsighted one-upmanship, it is comforting to know we have such annans to care for us.
