If you're a fan of classic Warner Bros. cartoons, you may remember Foghorn Leghorn and his attempts to get in cozy with the Widder Hen by befriending her nerd bookworm son. He figures the best way to the kid's heart is to play a bit of baseball with him. Turns out the kid hasn't the faintest notion of the game. Foghorn looks at the camera and confides:
"There's somethin' kinda yeeeeeeahhhhheeewww about a boy who don't like baseball."
Wise words, and I find myself thinking of Barack Obama. You KNOW he never liked or played baseball as an American kid, probably because he never was an American kid. Somethin' kinda yeeeeeeeahhhhheeewwww.
I haven’t thought about Foghorn for years, always called the kid son, he was funny.
You’re probably right about Obama not playing or being interested in baseball.
