I Know It's Just Spring Training, But Still...

The Cubs were on the radio yesterday. I wasn't going to listen to much, but when I heard Pat Hughes and Ron Santo on the air in the afternoon I couldn't keep myself away.

Granted, the game was boring. I hadn't heard of most of the players. But hey, it was baseball.

There's really no more exciting beginning of any season than the beginning of baseball season. It's in the spring time, or as winter turns to spring, and it's hard not to get excited about the weather and season to come. The baseball season is unique because we feel so connected to it. There are games every day, and it becomes a part of our daily routine.

So listening to the game yesterday, even though it was completely meaningless, made me think about the excitement that has yet to come. Now that I've had a taste of it, there's nothing that sounds more appealing right now than heading out to the ballpark to enjoy a baseball game.

Take me out to the ball game. Ahhh. Only a month or so away.
