As August is just a few hours away, and the baseball season gets ready to round third and head home toward the post-season (and my favorite teams, the Mets and the Orioles, make no last-minute trades to improve themselves--good luck, Buck Showalter, you're going to need it), I'm going to suggest a little late-summer reading. If nothing else, it will help you to understand some of the vehemence in this earlier post.
Baseball--and, for that matter, Times Square--really are both metaphors for American society. Like American society, both have been turned into corporate theme parks. And that might be the nicest way you can say it.
