Baseball is the writer’s game, and its train of thought, we come to sense, is a shuttle, carrying
us constantly forward to the next pitch or inning, or the sudden double into the left-field comer,
but we keep hold of the other half of our ticket, for the return trip on the same line. We
anticipate happily, and, coming home, reenter an old landscape brightened with fresh colors.
Baseball games and plays and mannerisms-the angle of a cap-fade stubbornly and come to mind
unbidden, putting us back in some particular park on that special October afternoon or June
evening. The players are as young as ever, and we, perhaps not entirely old.”

“Finish each day/And be done with it/You have done what you could/
Som e blunders and/Absurdities have crept in/Forget them as soon as
you can/Tomorrow is a new day/You shall begin it serenely/And
high a spirit/To be encumbered by/Your old nonsense.”

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time “I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination
we have rushed through life trying to save. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is

To my people: My time spent with you has been amazing. What we have shared
will be looked back upon fondly in our old age. Through good times and bad it’s
been an amazing journey you have changed my life innumerable ways. Shout
outs to the BAC for keeping me eternally entertained and focused on the plight of
the black students at Trinity. Shouts to all the Queens heads who have to put up
with my antics on the train. To my peoples playing football: I’m gonna miss
playing in the snow, rain, and bitter cold and blazing heat with you guys. It was
wild playing four years; the man with most tackles and all-purpose yards is out.
To the baseball team: Oh Yeah maign! We had fun & winning seasons. What else
can we ask for? Kaduma. Da maign is out. To my family: I love you all very deeply
and thank you for keeping me motivated and on track through these four years.
Though I know I have not been the easiest person to deal with but I’m so glad you
never gave up on me. To my friends: We talk football, baseball, smack, freestyling,
cars, politics, sex, drugs and rap, and everything in between. My time spent with
you was nothing short of bliss. Thanks and keep in touch. Peace, love and nappiness people, Drex
