“I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to – I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me…I can know much more, I could experience so much more, but I’m trapped in this absurd body.”
Sorry to hear about Virdon. He didn’t quite live up to his ROY promise, but enjoyed a fine career as a player then as a long-time manager. A baseball man. RIP.
