Whaada ya all say we keep Trump out of baseball?

Let's enjoy a dynamic and exciting World Series without making it about politics.

For all the world's legitimate and terrible issues, let us set aside the worst of us for just a brief moment and enjoy this beautiful game together.

A stroll around Loughrigg Tarn after a winter walk on Loughrigg; this was at the end of the day as the light faded and we were down at the dege of the water.
