"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do.
I stare out the window and wait for spring."
- Rogers Hornsby
March is the greatest month of the year, solely because of Spring Training. Every fan wakes up out of their winter haze to evaluate their team's off-season moves and the long road ahead. But that gets boring after a while; you'll be seeing that all season on the local sports station.
What makes Spring so great is that you can get the same type of news and reports from ANY team.What better way to be an all around baseball fan than to know a little something about every opponent? Being able to follow all the stories from around the league leading up to Opening Day is by far my favorite part.
Don't forget there are actual GAMES being played too! In about three more weeks the records won't matter, but it just shows how close we are to summer's bliss of relaxing on a warm night and flipping on the Sunday night game of the week.
There's one team out there that's going to win the World Series. They don't know it yet, but they'll find some way to make it into the playoffs, get hot at the right time, and find themselves at the top of the baseball world in just about seven months.
