Pfaadt went viral, appearing to be reading the Bible in the dugout before the deciding game of the NLCS.

Why are we surprised? Has it really come to this?

What about the player on the losing side that read the Bible with his wife while they were at breakfast? Or the hotdog vendor? Or the season ticket holder? Or the bat boy?

Has civilization really descended to the point where a baseball player reading his Bible before the biggest game of his life is big news?

So many scenes of life outside the nave have been purged of religious “mojo”, it really can be a surprise to see a manful, faithful act.

That’s nice, but I really have to wonder if God is watching out for the Rangers.

The only team that didn’t sport f-a-g stuff, allegedly for the sake of 1 of its players.

He was probably reading that part in Revelation 3 about Philadelphia.

Go Rangers!

I have no horse in this race, but I'm a fan of Bruce Bochy. Three titles in three World Series with the SF Giants, and I believe in each one the Giants were the underdog (heck, I think they were the underdog in the NL title series too).

I’m surprised they could recognize a Bible.

He wasn’t reading the Bible to get God to help him win. He was reading the Bible to remind himself of what is eternally necessary, win or lose.

Of course he was. Baseball is prominently mentioned in the Bible.

As a matter of fact, the first thing it says in the Bible:

“In the Big Inning...”

A few more stories like this and I just may become a Diamondbacks’ fan.
Back in the 1960-1970s, I was a huge fan of the Cincinnati Reds, but now I cannot even tell you which league most of the teams are in. Especially the Diamondbacks and I have lived in Arizona for 15 years.
