Changing Our Paradigms: Cleansing Sports Arenas As Areas of Land: From the Desk of Arthur Burk

A SMILE FOR THE DAY

I was talking with a baseball coach yesterday, exploring land cleansing.

I suggested he start with the pitcher’s mound since he is a pitching coach.

Think of how much emotional defilement there is on a mound! So much anger, shame, pain, self-condemnation.

And then you have the corporate effect of ten million people on TV condemning the pitcher for THAT pitch.

And after that you factor in hundreds of thousands of pitches thrown from older mounds and I would think there would be some serious defilement on that little lump of clay.

I suggested he cleanse three mounds at the next three parks where his team plays, and then skip three mounds at the following three and see if there are any interesting results.

Specifically, I wonder if the defilement on the land causes pitchers to perform under their actual ability. Just a theory.

This morning he said to me, “You have ruined baseball for me. I was watching a game on TV last night and all I could think of is ‘What are his feet standing in!'”

I laughed mercilessly!
