THE MORNING CONSTITUTIONAL: AMERICA'S PASTIME RETURNS

The crack of the bat, the dew on the grass, the sound of the ball whapping into a leather glove. Ah, the national pastime!

Back at last! America at full bloom, resplendent in her love of the game, embracing it as a child does its mother, rushing across a crowded airport waiting area to grasp it in its adoring clutches!

Baseball. Back at last, and better than ever.
