Berninger doesn’t remember what he wrote on that first baseball, nearly four years ago.
All he knows is his wiring changed that day.

Matt Berninger, the singer-songwriter and frontman of The National, had an idea, maybe even a good one.
At the time, such an idea was hard to come by. Worth writing down, but nowhere to put it. No notebook. Dead phone battery.
He then found a baseball and pushed a pen onto the rawhide.

A few years ago, The National’s Matt Berninger was stuck — writer’s block.
“I started getting depressed by notebooks.” So he wrote on the baseball instead.

A new story I'm pretty pumped to share. It's about words, and our pastime, and changing your traumas by changing your patterns.

There's a list out there on the internet, one tallying h.s. basketball's highest single-season scorers. The name on top isn't a familiar one. It's one that was without a story.
That's where we begin...
