Vote, Just the Same

[DOUGHBOYS]

I love fantasy baseball.
It is performance driven thing.
Our players are black and white to us.
What they are on the field appears on the stat page.
We draft them, then live with them.
Our players do not have to take ads in a paper.
Or make roto calls.
Or make speeches.
Or put ads on billboards.
Or the internet.
Or leave stuff at our door.

Nope. Our players have their stats printed for us in newspapers and websites.
We know in an instant how well they're doing.
The two 'players' we're voting on today, shy away from stats.
Their stats are so bad, that they don't talk about their own stats. Worse, they use each others stats against their opponent.

What happens today, is more fair than the upcoming baseball awards.
A very few vote on those awards. To be sure, those voters will have seen less baseball games than you or I.
But, somehow, they are more 'qualified' to judge or vote.
Today, we all get a vote. We're all qualified.

When we talk about fantasy baseball to our friends, we get an eye roll.
That, while these two knuckleheads keep people riveted.
I don't get it.
Voting for these two is like being in the 48th round of a 50 round draft and deciding between two relief pitchers.
Yet, for some people, they talk themselves into thinking that this will change the world.

When I was born, Eisenhauer was President and baseball hadn't quite hit the 'Golden Age'.
Since then, baseball has changed. Presidents have changed. Technology has changed things.
But you know what?
Through all the changes, it's still the same world.
And no matter who the leader of the free world is tomorrow, that won't change.
Get out and vote today.
Even if it won't change things THAT much and it feels like the 48th round of a 50 round draft.
Or, if you think it will change the world.
Vote, just the same.

Then, go back to more important things like who your third outfielder will be.
