We miss sports. A LOT. But why? Why does it feel, during this time, that there is such a void in our life?
This season is an exploration of the sports touchstones of my life, why sports became so meaningful to me that I made a career of working in sports journalism.
This episode is the start of that story, which begins with my memories of the very first sporting event I remember watching start to end - the Chicago White Sox beating the California Angels 11-0 on Sept. 9, 1983. Why does that game stick in my memory, and what did I learn going back in my memory of what made baseball so exciting to me as a 7-year-old then?
