German polymath and writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once wrote of Nature:
“There is constant life in her, motion and development; and yet she remains where she was. She is eternally changing, nor for a moment does she stand still. Of rest she knows nothing, and to all stagnation she has affixed her curse. She is steadfast; her step is measured, her exceptions rare, her laws immutable.”
We are all subjected to the laws of Nature, though Nature herself takes many forms. The construct of Major League Baseball is itself a form of Nature.
