I'm not an athlete by any stretch of anyone's imagination, but if I had to choose a sport to play, it probably would be baseball. Unlike basketball and football where there are penalties and fouls and first downs and such, baseball seems to be the most straightforward. Don't swing if it's too high or low; if you do swing at a good pitch and miss, it's a strike. You hit the ball and run around the bases trying to get home without getting tagged. I can handle that. Good luck, George! -EW
