"That's the true harbinger of spring, not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of a bat on a ball."
-- Bill Veeck
Even though it's only Valentine's Day, and there is still plenty of snow on the ground, it's time to get ready for some baseball! Spring Training workouts are beginning today!
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us."
-- Walt Whitman
Every team starts out each Spring with the dream of competing for the championship. Rookies everywhere are nervous and excited, while veterans slowly round their games into shape.
"They give you a round bat and they throw you a round ball and they tell you to hit it square."
-- Willie Stargell
The glimmer of hope in my own dream to be a major league player may have faded decades ago, but this time of year still gets my juices flowing and my heart beating a little bit faster!
"People all say that I've had a bad break. But today - today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth."
-- Lou Gehrig
Play ball (once the snow finally melts)!
