The Spiritual Side of Baseball

Writer Stacey May Fowles on how baseball gives her strength to get through the times when life offers up one damn spitball after another.

When Major League Baseball returned after the long winter hiatus, bloggers, fans and journalists all tossed out their speculations about the upcoming season.

For Ms Fowles, who has struggled with depression, baseball is buoy in tough times. It gives her strength to get through the times when life offers up one damn spitball after another.
