A no-brainer? No, a brainer
In Friday’s column in The New Mexican, I facetiously search for signs of intelligent life in the Universe of Sport.
Surprisingly (not), I find none.
IF I had more room to write in the print edition, however, I would have ended the column in a different manner.
I would have pointed to Texas pitcher Colby Lewis, who had to decide whether attending the birth of Elizabeth Grace Lewis, his second child, was more important than making a routine start for the Rangers.
Let’s see: a one-time, unrepeatable event vs. something that happens every fifth day in a starter’s baseball career?
Lewis chose the birth.
If I had had the space in my “search for intelligent life,” I would have referenced Colby and written:
"Ah, there we are."
