Baseball Play Firsts

More From Michael Nesmith

Faced with today's problems and disappointments , many people will try to escape from their responsibility. escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. i propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape.

Praise the name of baseball. the word will set captives free. the word will open the eyes of the blind. the word will raise the dead. have you the word of baseball living inside you? has the word of baseball become part of you? do you live it, play it, digest it, forever? let an old man tell you to make the word of baseball your life. walk into the world and speak of baseball. let the word flow through you like water, so that it may quicken the thirst of your fellow man.

I love to play baseball. i'm a baseball player. i've always been a baseball player. i'm still a baseball player. that's who i am.

I think you come to watch baseball, and if you're a true fan, then you enjoy watching baseball. mlb tries to change this and change that, speed up the games, but baseball's baseball. you can't change it. it's america's pastime. it's the greatest game on earth. i don't really want to change it that much.

I decided that i want to live the rest of my life happy with what i'm doing. so when i play tennis again, i have to play it for the right reason. i don't want to play to get my no. 1 ranking back. i don't want to play for the attention, or to earn more. i don't even want to play because the world wants to see me do it, even though it's nice to know that the world is interested. i only want to play because i love the game, which is the reason i began to play at age seven in the first place.

I could play a cop, i could play a crook, i could play a lawyer, i could play a dentist, i could play an art critic-i could play the guy next door. i am the guy next door. i could play catholic, jewish, protestant. as a matter of fact, when i did the odd couple, i would do it a different way each night. on monday i'd be jewish, tuesday italian, wednesday irish-german-and i would mix them up. i did that to amuse myself, and it always worked.

I know this is going to sound corny, but i love my life. i love my baby, so i love getting to wake up with him. and i have the most amazing job, with writing that any actor would love and costars who i can't wait to see on monday mornings. and i love coming home to my husband.

Financial freedom is our birthright, rather than the "slave walk" of the monday through friday grind.

We need to be honest with the american people about the problems and the challenges ahead and the solutions that are needed to fix them. and i would argue it's the president who has been missing in action on this front. he knows we have a debt crisis coming. all independent experts show us this. and so he hasn't even given us a budget yet. i mean, the law required that he was supposed to submit a budget the first monday in february.

Officials at the london olympics will be conducting 5,000 tests for steroids. or as lance armstrong calls that, 'a monday.'
