In honor of baseballâs Opening Day last week, Iâll start with a question: What does hitting or pitching a baseball have in common with solving the stateâs pension funding crisis?
The answer? If it was easy, anyone could do it.
When I was a would-be high school baseball player, I read âThe Art of Pitchingâ by Tom Seaver and âThe Science of Hittingâ by Ted Williams, hoping their Cooperstown-quality guidance would help me make the varsity roster.
âWould-be,â because I lacked the athletic ability to turn their sage advice into a spot on the squad.
