Question:
I see ballplayers making the Sign of the Cross before batting in a game. What's the point? God can't take sides in a game.
Father Mitas' answer:
First of all, God can do whatever He wants. If He wants to favor one baseball team over another (as in the case of the 1969 Mets), then who's going to stop Him? I believe, however, that Lucifer is more pro-active in baseball games than the Lord. I offer as proof the blown call in the 1985 World Series (yes, we Cardinal fans never forget!).
