It isn't me that people love. It's baseball.
We had a dog in those days named Blue Grass and the players used to give us their Wheaties for him. Blue Grass loved Wheaties and so did I.
I love the game because it's so simple, yet it can be so complex. There's a lot of layers to it, but they aren't hard to peel back.
