Quote #10

He [Rabbit] tries to picture how it will end, with an empty baseball field, a dark factory, and then over a brook in a dirt road, he doesn’t know. He pictures a huge vacant field of cinders and his heart goes hollow.

Though Rabbit is a basketball man, here, as he envisions with dismay America crumbling, he evokes the sport most often associated with America and the American dream: baseball. If he’d have just stuck to baseball, none of this would have happened.
