Quotable | The sublime Emmylou Harris, in a story in the new issue of Esquire (no link available yet):

During those long summer tours, there's nothing on television that doesn't rot your brain except for baseball. And I love the game. I love the history of the game. I love the fact that anything can happen but probably won't. But sometimes does. I love that you don't have to be a perfect human specimen to be a good player; you can be overweight, you can be too short, too skinny.

Let's just say I'm a National League girl, because I don't believe in the designated hitter. And you can quote me on that.

Take that, Citizen's Blog.
