These United States [Wednesday, May 28, 2014]

"The second most American thing--right after the president of the school board, Stephen Colbert, riding on a bald eagle while holding a semi-automatica weapon and eating bacon to the strains of 'God Bless the USA'--is knocking off from school or work in the middle of the day in order to attend a baseball game in the afternoon," Josh said, "which is why we're here at Citi Field in beautiful...Flushing, shut up I didn't name it...to watch the Mets play the Pittsburgh Pirates."

He glanced at the class. "Not actual pirates. Or...mets."

He then went into a very detailed description of how baseball worked as he led them to their seats along the first base line. "Eat hot dogs, drink soda--no beer, and yes I'll catch you-- heckle the players, learn to keep a box score--I'll help with that if you want, my dad was really into it--and have fun. Baseball, the all-American pastime."

He plopped his Mets hat on his head and sat down in his plastic seat, ready for the game to start.
