I’m damn lucky I got people making food for me. That way I can do all this dice-rolling and reporting and not keel over in the process. The Patriot Act Inc. guys even started giving me a special pill every morning that they said would help my virtual transporting to the different ballparks [...]

Opening Grippers
So I assembled all the cards for Opening Day, picked up the 4-D dice, which felt sort of warm and ticklish in my hand, and threw them on the table. Before I knew it the light inside the trailer began to fade, I started to smell grilled hot dogs, I was drenched in sunshine, [...][...]
