America’s Past Time: Lessons In Attraction From The World Of Baseball

To the untrained eye, baseball, like all sports, appears to the layman observer as a group of men whirling a spherical “cowhide” object with the sole purpose of making contact, and running with no intended purpose whatsoever. On the other hand, what the astute observer sees is a strategic dance between pitcher and batter. As the pitcher hurls the ball, in milliseconds, the batter must decide to swing or let the ball pass on by. This dance plays out through a series of complex interactions of “give and takes” between two individuals, each trying to determine the opposition’s next move--moves which parallel and have lessons in the attraction process.
