mesmerized

Salon goes through the ways Hernández has mesmerized audiences across the country.

I was reading a journal he kept in prison, and I was mesmerized by the quality of his writing and the precision of his observations.

I drove by the homes, mesmerized.

“He’s just so powerful, with strength and quickness,” Dodgers special assistant Ron Roenicke said before the season, mesmerized by Ohtani’s raw foot speed and explosiveness.

As I reflected on Benatar belting out the lyrics to “We Belong Together,” as Spyder mesmerized the audience with his guitar, I wondered if at the end of November Harris and Walz will say, “We belong together,” and more importantly will the country and our allies join in singing that chorus – as members of the audience did with Benatar in Southern California.
