I was doing some work for my son's travel team and came across a quote that fits me to a tee, especially right now. I'll wager it applies to a bunch of other folks here too!

“People ask me what I do in the winter when there’s no baseball.
I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.”
- Rogers Hornsby, Hall of Fame Second Baseman

Totally fitting, eh? Though, I suppose fans of other sports feel the same, just a different times of the year.

Baseball fans still exist?

One of my favorites . . .

"There are three things in life that I love: God, my family, and baseball. Problem is, when baseball season starts, the order changes."

Those are both great. I am excited that pitchers and catchers report on Valentine's Day. Now I'll actually look forward to it! ;)

Anyone planning on checking on Spring Training?

I might bring my ball club (www.ballhogsbaseball.com) out for a tournament and to see a Spring Training game or two, but I've not decided yet.

Will you be heading out?

Hoping to. I didn't make it last year but I really enjoy the games out there. That's a great trip to take you club to. How fun for them!

Yah, the boys (and the dads, and a few of the moms) are super excited about the trip. We've still not been able to nail down the dates, as we have other (qualifying) tournaments to get to.
