Today, the day after the shooting of House Republican leader Steve Scalise, four others and a gunman on a baseball field near our nation’s capitol, these words by John Thorn seem especially fitting. Thorn is the official historian for major league baseball.

We must continue to play ball. Violence can change us. But it cannot steal away the freedom we hold dear.
