Can you have a ballgame with no fans in the stands? What about a city council meeting with no members of the public? In this episode, the batters navigate a strange new landscape where everyone is connected, nobody is together, and American institutions like democracy and baseball feel quaint at best. Tom L.'s internet connection is a bit fuzzy throughout, but his points about community and what happens to it when we stay apart too long, featuring a perfectly legal excerpt from "Field of Dreams," couldn't be sharper.
