Defending Aaron Gleeman
2004-03-17 14:56
Some people take baseball far too seriously, and criticize anything and everything. It reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt's quote: It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. So when a Baseball Primer thread turned critical of young blogger Aaron Gleeman, I felt the need to respond: To those who say a baseball blogger's heft You go, Aaron.
