Would you catch something that could break you? The Oracle Park weighs in.
Or something you wanted to bear but have no idea how?

Hi, everyone-
I think there aren’t too many times in my life when “I may” turns into “I will.”
Usually because I either think something is not important enough, or because:
Doubt always keeps things from flying.
I noticed this when I first watched baseball.
Growing up around supervolcanic villages in a culture that doesn’t really have ‘formal sports,’ admittedly I had no idea why anyone would want to sit around for hours, watch ball after ball end up in places they shouldn’t, just for one or maybe two moments of excitement while your (or worse, someone else’s) soda and popcorn always manage to end up on your lap.
But now I know: I was wrong!
Just the physics of baseball itself makes a catch purely awe-inspiring.
