Walter Jacobson’s Perspective 3-13-25: I just can’t stop thinking about spring fever and baseball
Update: 2025-03-13
Description
There are big and important stories in the news today about that endlessly awful war being waged by Russia and Ukraine. And about disease and starvation around the world. And about $10.00 for a dozen eggs here at home. But I just can’t stop thinking about spring fever and baseball. Our Chicago White Sox and my Chicago Cubs who, in 1952, 75 years ago when I was a little boy talking my way into a job as a Cubs batboy. Wow! What’s big and important about baseball is that now for the first time in 50 years those Yankees in New York are being permitted by their owners to look, oh, kind of hippie on TV wearing mustaches, beards, and hair long enough to cover their collars. Looking quite hippie. In my opinion, the Yankee owners are doing the right thing, not because we need more hippies in the major leagues, but because we need to pay more attention to the damage Elon Musk is doing to our government and politics, getting himself in the news day after day about how rich and powerful he is in firing the thousands of government employees working in federal offices about which he knows nothing. It is time for Elon Musk to be tuned out.
