And baseball was proof positive that democracy was real.A baseball box score,after all,is a democratic thing.It dosen't say how big you areor what religion you follow.It does not know how you votedor the color of your skin.It simply states what kind of ballplayer you were on any particular day.
棒球是民主存在的正向指標(biāo)。畢竟棒球的得分表是一個(gè)民主的東西。它不會(huì)告訴你,你塊頭多大,或是你信什么宗教。也無從得知,你怎么投票,或你的膚色。它只會(huì)顯示任何特定的日子,你在球場(chǎng)的表現(xiàn)如何。
