If the ancient Greek gods walked the earth today I would not be more in awe than I am about the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees. Things of great antiquity, grandeur, and splendor demand reverence, like the Rocky Mountains, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the rivalry between baseball’s two great teams.
