As I count down the days before pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, I began to wonder. About the seventh-inning stretch. Is there a subliminal message in that song that tells baseball patrons to flee from their seats, leave the ballpark, and prematurely create traffic?
Imagine leaving a restaurant with your dinner plate still 25% full. Or putting a book back on the shelf with a portion of it still to be read. Would you leave a movie theater before the ending? Or worse ... imagine stopping making love just before ... well ... just before you are finished.
So why do people insist on leaving games early?
Are we really becoming a society that is going nowhere, but getting there fast?
