Sam Eagle Presents WeirDONT'S: How Not To Be A Weirdo, Monday, Period Five, 6/5
As always, Sam was standing behind his podium at the front of the classroom. As always, Sam was ready to begin class at precisely the appointed time.
“Today, students, we will be learning about that Great American Pastime: Baseball. Baseball, being so very American is not weird at all. You would all do well to learn more about it! Especially those of you from other places.”
“We shall be watching portions of a documentary on this fine subject by that great American filmmaker, Ken Burns. It is called, very fittingly, Baseball and aired on public television, a fine American institution that brings wholesome culture to the masses.”
Sam cleared his throat and continued. “After we have watched some of this fine series we shall discuss baseball and perhaps why it is a superior sport to others you may be familiar with. Why, there is even a local team in Baltimore that is unfortunately named after an inferior bird, the oriole. If you wish to know more you would be wise to venture across the causeway to take in a game. Of course, you could always travel a little further to Washington to watch the very fine Nationals play!”
Sam nodded importantly to himself before turning on the projector. “Let us begin,” he said before ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ could be heard.
