Spring is in the Air

Wow, how time flies. Today is one of my favorite days of the year. Sure, I'd like to tell you how super-spiritual I am and rattle off the spiritual significance of the day, but apart from quoting Crash Davis' (Bull Durham) misguided theology of the church of baseball, I cannot.

I guess one of my favorite quotes is "Hope Springs Eternal." There is always cause for optimism when everyone is at 0-0 for the year. Two years ago, no one expected the Rockies to visit the World Series. Last year, Tampa Bay surprised the world by getting to the World Series. The Yankees can spend more money than many countries and not guarantee themselevs a championship. Who will have a career year, who will have a career end? Not all is certain, but this: today begins the greatest sport of all...baseball. The blahs of winter give way to the joys of spring. You gotta love it!

My hopes are high, it may only be for a few weeks that a Rockies - Rangers World Series seems a remote possibility, but hope does spring eternal. See ya somewhere around home plate.
