Behold, I do not give lectures or a little charity, We men often catch a lot of flak about how little we speak. Our lovers tell us we should say more about our feelings. To an extent they're right. But we must also accept that we men have lived in a fairly silent world for centuries, and that the ability to be silent has often saved our lives. We want to learn to articulate our needs, wounds and desires, but we won't lose sight of the wonder of wordless conversation. We may love words, but as we grow older we can find increasing value in the shoulder-to-shoulder intimacy that men have shared for so long. If our silent way confuses those we love, we'll try to help them understand it. But we won't give up this kind of intimacy just to make someone else more comfortable. In time, those who wish we talked more may themselves acquire a taste for quiet. Today I'll enjoy the intimacy of silence, the understanding in the eyes, the support of a touch, the love in the wave of a hand.

Strike IX: The story of a big East college forced
to eliminate its baseball program and the team that refused
to lose, Paul Lonardo.. In October, 1998, as fall
practice was getting underway for the Providence College
baseball team, the players and coaches learned that their
sport was going to be eliminated after the 1999 season.
Knowing that this was going to be the last year that
baseball would be played at PC, the team decided to put
their emotions and anger aside and make it a season to
remember by becoming champions. This is the story of this
historic year and the players who decided to make their
statement on the field and show the school administration
that they made a mistake. Infinity Publishing, infinitypublishing.com,
