We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Eephus was a really good time at the movies. It really felt like baseball—playing baseball more than watching it—at kind of an elemental level, which I thought was pretty cool. That should tell you a lot about whether you'd like it or not, but if you like baseball like that, it's a treat.
