QUOTE
“You say to yourself, ‘Why is it that baseball attracts so many people, as opposed to other sports?’ The reason is simple, if you’ve ever watched High Noon with Gary Cooper. Here he is, standing alone in the street. The odds are against him, and he comes out to be the hero. There’s a similarity in baseball. It’s the only game where it’s only you that can win. You’re up there alone. And there are nine other gunmen out in the field to get you. And you’re Gary Cooper.” 
Marshall Fogel, baseball fan, as quoted by David Cataneo in Hornsby Hit One Over My Head
