As a fan of The Best Last Place Team in MLB (yay?) I remember a few years back during one of their trips to the basement, near season’s end, I tuned into a game that meant nothing ... the roster filled with AAAA guys ... and even as I wondered why I was bothering ... something happened ... something baseball ... was it double down the line or a nice outfield assist or something else? I don’t recall *what* it was, but it was something well executed, and I thought, “I love this game.” The thought struck me funny at first because ... the season was hopeless. I quickly followed that thought with something to the tune of, “But I don’t care ... that [whatever it was] was marvelous.” And I found some happiness in the end of that lost season remembering how to enjoy the game for the game’s sake.
I hope you can find some joy in the game ... even when the home nine are aggravating beyond all reason.

Always take the win, in whatever form, and allow it to carry you through!
