This episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine represents, for me, one of those happy little coincidences that can convince you, if you’re susceptible to them, that the world maybe does revolve around you a little bit. I have been a Trekkie for as long as I can remember, but I actually didn’t get into baseball until 1998 (which is an entirely separate story.) This episode aired that fall, during the World Series, if you can believe it, and because it combined one of my oldest favorite things with one of my newest favorite things; it was, as they say, must-watch TV.
