It’s Almost Spring Training Time

Now that I live in Florida, I still look forward to spring training, but not quite as much as I did as when I lived in the Chicago area. For those of you who live in the “frozen north” I feel your pain. Somewhere under all that “beautiful” snow, there are baseball diamonds just waiting to thaw out.

 

In just a week or two, pitchers and catchers from both the Orioles and the Pirates will be reporting to our area. It won’t be long before we’ll hear the sound of the umpires yelling “PLAY BALL” and the crack of the baseball bat. By the way, we have flocks of robin red-breasts down here on vacation. They said they’ll see you again in about four or five weeks and not to worry, they won’t drink and fly when they are on their way home…
