Baseball has been a lifelong love for Donnie Wise and shaped how he views the world, from the field to everyday life.
• Started playing baseball at age 5 and it became "the one constant" through childhood, high school, and adulthood
• Baseball teaches valuable life skills like patience, reading people, and strategic thinking
• The sport uniquely allows for socializing and conversation while still following the game
• Memorable experiences include coaching Little League, seeing Chipper Jones' career-delaying injury, and watching Michael Jordan play baseball
• Baseball superstitions and traditions remain important to fans, from hat selection to uniform preferences
• The analytics-heavy approach to modern baseball takes away from the gut feel and strategy that makes the game special
• Despite changes to speed up the game, baseball remains America's pastime - "synonymous with apple pie"
