Over the next few weeks, we are going to highlight the beautiful, funny and fanciful from the current Sports & Sensibility issue of Galaxy Brain.
No one can match Michael’s particular brand of gently wild, roving, funny, romantic but somehow still clear-eyed sensibility but well, Bob Bickford comes pretty damn close, as do Donnez Cardoza’s images for Dear Ghost. Bob and Donnez capture the kind of magic Michal harnessed in this world, creating other ones by doing so:
All the love, and all the loss. Baseball has ever been woven into the fabric of my life.
Hot dogs and beer, voices on the radio, white uniforms, soaring lights. We all muddle through without a program. Baseball is about knowing that you’re only here for a little while, but the game—the snap of ball against leather, the warm air, and the green, green grass—is eternal. I see too many ghosts saying too many different things to be sure of anything, but I’m sure of always.
They say nobody plays forever, Ghost —but everybody does.
