It is a brooding game of strategy. For the most part, it is a quiet game, where a rookie fan might be lulled to a snooze like a bored five-year-old.

The gutsy lefthander nodding like General Patton and grimacing toward home plate — thinking, just maybe, he has one more hitter in that ragged arm of his.

Get Ready for Cyberwars
Cyberspace will be the major battlefield of the 21st century, analysts have predicted, and a country’s primary military objective will be to shut down the enemy’s computer system, not blow up its military installations or shoot down its planes.
