Soon my friends. Soon....

There are only 20 more days until pitchers and catchers report on February 15th. That will be the start of spring training. That will be the start of baseball.

I love baseball.

I love the smell of fresh cut grass.

I love the smell of a recently oiled leather glove.

I love the sound of a wooden bat connecting with the baseball.

I love the watching some kid leap through the air and catch a line drive in the webbing of his glove.

Soon my friends. Soon....

But until then, I've got my other favorite sport too look forward to.
