On my own time, I play at political punditry. But my day job—by far the most important part of my professional life—is to be a college administrator. Specifically, I am the Provost and Vice President of Academics at a small liberal-arts university in Wichita, Kansas.

I am not a sport’s fan, and I am especially not a baseball fan. In fact, I can only remember ever seeing one baseball game all the way through on TV. It was on April 8, 1974. The Atlanta Braves were playing the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It has always been a minor source of pride for me that I saw something so incredible happen.
