"

Baseball is like joining an enormous family with ancestors and forebears and famous stories and histories and it’s a privilege. It means alot. And the people who tell me they hate baseball, or are out of baseball, they sound bitter about it. But I think they sense what they are missing. I think that they feel there is something they are not in on, that is a terrible loss. And I feel sorry for them."

— Roger Angell, Ken Burns "Baseball: Inning Four"
