...spiritually disorienting to see a black driving a car with Alabama plates and a Wallace bumper sticker. It is surreal to walk into Wallace's state campaign headquarters, a neobellum low-rise former furniture store on the edge of Montgomery.

...Florida, everybody believes in the magic of spring training. The optimism of the next few days--Joe Rudi can probably shag flies in the Florida sun as well as or better than Freddie Lynn; after all, he's been doing it longer--will be like a March afternoon spent in the stands at Chain-O-Lakes--pleasant, but not very meaningful...
