woo staring down greene in the kerfuffle. I love him so much, that's my teenage dirtbag

the tigers and mariners are all standing around home plate at tmobs. right in the golden ratio of this screengrab, woo (wearing his hat backwards) is standing a pace from & staring down riley greene with a visible frown despite the blurry quality of the pic

no cheating, post your lockscreen!

Android lockscreen showing the time is 8:43 on Sun August 2, weather 63°; alarm set for 8:00 tomorrow morning when it'll be 73°f in Seattle (6° warmer than today!) the background is Tali-Zorah vad Normandy from the Mass Effect video game trilogy. rare occasion where I didn't save the artist name with the image but I can probably find out on request — believe it was someone doing a ME tarot art series back in the day on tumblr

the wpbl already has a really nice stats site set up, and it looks like you can find a gameday-esque live watch there when games are on! stats.womensprobaseballleague.com

on a particular game's page, there's a "Current situation" box showing the four bases (there's no game on, so it says Bases empty), At Bat, Pitching, Count, and Outs.

below it is the "Latest - Most recent play" box showing the final play from last night's game ("Claire Eccles grounded out to 3b (1-2 KSBF).")

a post from maybe ig by trevschirps with a picture of a baseball covered in writing. the caption says "Chirping Randy Arozarena today in Detroit. Second inning he tossed me this ball"

the ball says (slightly smudged):
I don't speak English!
Yell what you want! I don't understand you!
I don't care!
<3 I love you

in love with this book already (The Magical Game by Addy Baird)

"We find magic whenever the elements of chance and accident, and the emotional play between hope and fear, have a wide and extensive range," Malinowski wrote. "We do not find magic whenever the pursuit is certain, reliable, and well under control of rational methods." See: baseball, a game of chance and accident played on the wide spectrum between hope and fear.

Among all these definitions of magic, the one that stuck with me came from Gosden, who defined magic as "human participation in the universe." I love the expansiveness of this definition, which encompasses changing perspectives on magic over the course of history and allows for a wide range of magic practices. It also speaks to every form of baseball magic: the superstitions adhered to by athletes and fans alike, the legacy of baseball's great curses, and the ephemeral magic of pure presence and timelessness offered by the game.
