October: Month of Mary and ... baseball!


Fall may mark the start of the hockey and NFL seasons, and the CFL season is in full bloom, but fall is also known for baseball's World Series. When you think about it, there's something serene and tranquil about baseball...something...Catholic.

Football has its Hail Mary throws, and hockey has the sin bin (penalty box), but the similarities between Christianity and baseball are truly profound. The relationship between faith and baseball has been pointed out by no less than former baseball commissioners Fay Vincent and Bart Giamatti, and some of them are recalled here.
