26 minutes ago, The Final Out of the 7th game if The World Series was recorded! This game was won on the last swing of the bat- in front of a rapidly cheering home crowd! The moment is amazing- one likely to be savored for years to come, this victory will be told to grandchildren who will not be born for years to come!
Imagine if The Commissioner Of Baseball, rather than presenting the Championship Trophy, lectured the owners, players and fans of this team! "This team is far too talented! It is not fair for them to dominate the sport as they did through out this season!" These words are jarring and unwanted by those who embrace this team!
" I, therefore, have decided that your team will need to lose 4 players from your roster. Your Third Baseman who hit 52 Homeruns, Drove in 139 runs and lead all Third Basemen in Fielding is being assigned to the Last Place team in your Division.Your Closer who saved 39 games this season will be assigned to the team who finished second in your division. Your rookie catcher will be re- assigned to your Single A Team in Cloverton for 2 years! Your Second Baseman will be told he must retire!"
These ideas seem ghastly and would tear the Baseball world apart and yet some, in the name of fairness and kindness, might be well able to justify doing this!
Does it make life better to insist that other people have far less than what they'd like to have can feel more comfortable and less antagonized?
