: I still smile thinking about that tiny moment of joy when I first booted up the Google Doodle on a hot July afternoon. A handful of anthropomorphic snacks, a sunny field, and a stripped-down baseball game that somehow felt big in my heart. If you’ve ever chased a stray ping and somehow hit a home run with a gummy bear in your glove, you know the vibe I’m chasing here. This is the charm of a browser game that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is—and somehow becomes more than you expect.
