Baseball Season is Upon Us

Tomorrow is Opening Day in the big leagues.  Having baseball start really means the start of spring to me.  It conjures up thoughts of sitting on my chair in my living room, warm breeze blowing through the house, bowl of ice cream, watching some baseball on TV.  Baseball is a warm weather sport for more then just the obvious reasons.  You don't want to be yelling and screaming at the TV for a huge hit in football, or sitting nervously for the last 45 seconds (that take 10 minutes) during a tie basketball game or hockey match when the weather is warm.  You want to be chill, and baseball is the ultimate chill sport.  Whether at the ballpark or at home, you can have a drink, some food and just chill out and watch one of the greatest sports ever.  Castro was good at it, Buffett blew he knee out playing it, Caribbean kids play it with sticks and balls in the streets, it isn't made to be played in the cold, and you can catch some kind of game almost anywhere in the world.  It is simply the greatest summer game ever.

On a side note, it isn't summer here in Ohio, and the local AAA team is playing their big league counterpart and it is snowing out.  Baseball is the greatest summer sport, but it is not a fun winter spectator sport!
