Bunt

Abstract

Sports are filled with rule, boundary and often family. This non-fiction piece, “Bunt,” tries to capture an incident that occurred over forty years ago, one of those moments that, for better or worse, shaped a character. We have collected a lot of information over time—statistics, measurements, all manner of academic enterprise, but we often neglect to recognize that territory, in its most primitive sense, drives us. One of the fundamental aspects of story-telling is to remind, and from remembrance there is often instruction.
