Quote by John Thorn

For many in baseball September is a month of stark contrast with April, when everyone had dared to hope. If baseball is a lot like life, as pundits declare, it is because life is more about losing than winning.

For many in baseball September is a month of stark contrast

Summary

This quote suggests that the contrast between September and April in baseball symbolizes the contrast between hope and reality. In April, at the beginning of the season, there is a sense of optimism and belief that teams have a chance of winning. However, as the season progresses, certain teams start losing and are left with a feeling of disappointment in September. This parallels life itself, as it is often filled with more losses than victories. The quote implies that baseball reflects the common experience of facing setbacks and disappointment in life.

Few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning.
