Editing Talk:Baseball (section)

== Philip Jose Farmer ==

his book Flesh has America being like ancient greece.  the city-states battle through a rougher futuristic version of baseball.  the teams are not just named after animals for fun... the team's "mascot" is likely the primary provider of furs and skins for the team and its fans to wear and eat.  the bucks, bulls, and beavers fight it out in a semi-equal battlefield likely not too different from a ball park.

:OK, but this page is for discussing how to improve the [[baseball]] article.  Unless you're suggesting that we should mention Farmer's story in this article, this comment is off-topic.  If you ''are'' suggesting that &mdash; I'm very skeptical that we should.  The relevant calculation is not how important baseball is to the story, but how important the story is to baseball. --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] ([[User talk:Trovatore|talk]]) 22:09, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
