We have arrived at that moment in mid-summer when baseball takes a break for the All-Star Game. I read the other day that Wednesday will be the only day of the year in which there is not a major professional sporting event taking place in the United States.

Rather than that, I would like to make a few observations about the current baseball season which I have found to be strange and maybe even portentous.
