Today is a Great Day!!

Today is a great day!!

Today is the first day of the new baseball season when Pitchers and Catchers report. It is almost like the you can feel the winter coming to an end (in spite of a massive snow storm last weekend) and a warm breeze blowing in your face. It is the smell in the air, and the pop as a ball hits a mitt.

Pitchers and Catchers reporting has a magically sound to the ears. Like birds singing this morning in the back yard, since they too must know that spring is almost sprung. All teams start today with an equal chance, a clean record, last year removed from memory, and just like spring itself, they are ready to bloom anew.

Everything is fresh and clean, with nothing but green fields in front of us. Arbitration is completed, new managers are settling into their offices all over FL and AZ.  The long winter is over. No more (NY) Giants, no more Lin-sanity,  because Pitchers and Catchers report today and everything is going to be alright again.  Baseball is back.

Today is a great day!!
