Baseball and Religion

Baseball has its own relics, prophets and rituals—as does religion—according to John Sexton, president of New York University and author of “Baseball as a Road to God.”  But beyond surface similarities, Sexton says, the game’s most magnificent moments, its timelessness and its intensity, can bring us to a sense of “the ineffable”—the transcendent.
