The Power of Hope
by Eno Sarris
September 4, 2012
Maybe despair gives life to hopes. Maybe three years of just abject, terrifyingly painful existence somehow injects enough power into your flagging dreams that, at least for one shining moment, you can will a thing into being. At least, that’s what I have decided happened Sunday, when Jason Bay hit a grand slam and pushed the ball out with nothing but pure want.
With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
As we say in Flushing, “Even a broken toilet is right twice a day.”
