Malingering’s World

Okay okay. Now I get it. Someone showed me this article today explaining that the Rockies are a Christian franchise and Holliday attends team prayer sessions. Now I don’t know what to think.

I mean, there are a few Christian franchises I really enjoy, like Chic-Fil-A and In-N-Out, but in baseball?

Music filled with obscenities, wildly popular with youth today and in many other clubhouses, is not played. A player will curse occasionally but usually in hushed tones. Quotes from Scripture are posted in the weight room. Chapel service is packed on Sundays. Prayer and fellowship groups each Tuesday are well-attended. It’s not unusual for the front office executives to pray together.

On the field, the Rockies are trying to make the playoffs for the first time in 11 seasons and only the second time in their 14-year history. Behind the scenes, they quietly have become an organization guided by Christianity — open to other religious beliefs but embracing a Christian-based code of conduct they believe will bring them focus and success.

Sigh.

Though I must mention some relief at understanding why Holliday was called safe when the umpire and his mother both knew he hadn’t touched the plate. At least there is an explanation for the otherwise unfathomable. And I guess that was the whole point of religion from the beginning.

I guess Dinger the Dinosaur isn’t part of an evolutionary process, but rather just another of God’s Creations. Good to know.
