Jesus Plays Baseball; Jesus is Love; Baseball is Love.

If there's anything we got from the 2004 "Jesus Chic" fashion trend, it's the affirmation that Jesus is, in fact, our homeboy. Over the past two years, some of us have dedicated our efforts into figuring out how, exactly, Jesus is our homeboy. Does he diddy up the joint with us? No. Does he boogy with us at the club every Friday? No. Does he go out to Denny's with us in the late hours of the night. Fuck no.

But does he play baseball with us? Yes. He does.



And apparently author Gary Graf has known this secret for quite sometime, as "The author has been a baseball fan for more than forty years and a Catholic a lot longer than that. He has played, coached, watched, or taught baseball since he was seven years old. He is very active in lay ministry and catechetics at his Catholic parish in Seattle, and has found both the Bible and baseball to be among the greatest teachers in his life."

So there you have it. Jesus is our homeboy because he plays baseball with us. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing this baseball cap on the playing field.
