As part of the 15th Anniversary celebration for Natetheworld.com, I am hosting a 24-hour writing challenge. Starting in January 2024, readers began submitting essay prompts. My goal is to tackle as many of these prompts as possible in a 24-hour period.
Baseball is a heartbreaking and miserable sport.
It is filled with fleeting highs and impossible lows.
You must be a Cleveland Guardians fan, as you stop me short.
They have brought me joy.
They have brought me pain.
Baseball is a heartbreaking and miserable sport.
Yet, I return each year with renewed faith.
A faith that defies all logic and reason.
You must be a Cleveland Guardians fan, as you stop me short.
I have seen them reach the mountain top.
Inches and moments of glory from winning it all.
Baseball is a heartbreaking and miserable sport.
But I can become consumed with the day when the misery ends.
I see fans filling city streets and tears in my living room.
You must be a Cleveland Guardians fan, as you stop me short.
March and April can’t come soon enough.
This year will be our year.
Baseball is a heartbreaking and miserable sport.
You must be a Cleveland Guardians fan, as you stop me short.
Be good to each other,
Nathan
