Candidates and players both reach out to their bases. There are a lot of fouls in both. And when a candidate starts “sliding” in the polls from his own district, he makes a “home run” from Washington to shore it up.
There is no lying in baseball. Oh wait, something about a garbage can lid and cameras and the world series? Bunch of wealthy people doing anything to win, to distract masses of people from thinking, learning, reading what is real? That’s professional sports IMO.
You can lie, and lie again, and lie again, and lie again, and your base will start to believe it. Then they will repeat the lie over and over and over again until they think it’s true.

“Opposition research”. In Huston and Boston, it’s called stealing signs.

or – politics has taught me that I can lie about anything and everything AND not be held accountable.

Buttercup is a baseball star. He has demonstrated every single slick move in the game and is inventing even more as he plays with America’s future.

Covid 19 has left politics the only game in the house, and the only race being run.

And no matter whom you’re rooting for, everyone agrees that the game drags on for far too long.

Oddly enough, baseball is really all about self-isolating if you think about it.

Politics is like baseball in another way as well: They’re pitching it, we’re catching it.
(Determining what “it” is is left as an exercise for the student.)
