I Love this Game!

I love baseball. Each spring I wait for this. And this spring I really, really love baseball - because my team is winning! That’s what it’s all about - the hope of next season.
All last year watching the Atlanta Braves I was waiting for the season to end (it was awful!) hoping for a fresh start. We’ve had such a fresh start so far. The Braves are 8 and 3 and sitting in first place. I know it’s early, but back off! Let me savor it for as long at it lasts.
Watching games is such a family event around here. Sure we’ll watch other sports, but baseball is a journey that we can’t wait to start each April. We watched the game today and then James and I practiced hitting this afternoon in the yard. Spring comes and so does baseball. It doesn’t get any better than this!
Anyone else excited baseball is back?
[And no, I can't bring myself to become a Seattle Mariners fan. I'm a southern boy at heart and I don't believe in the American League. It's just plain wrong. The DH is a sin! Once you've gone to a World Series game with your team - they're your team for life!]

Nice blog!
I have to admit, I’ve just never gotten into baseball. Professional sports in general kinda bore me. I was never into watching sports until I met my husband, who introduced me to college-level playing, which I personally feel is played more for the right reasons. I go to a certain college that just won its SECOND basketball national championship, and several of the players decided not to enter the NBA draft after the first championship because of their love of the game. To me, that’s what sports should be about, and I’m afraid it’s not that way the majority of the time in professional sports.
You’re right about college ball. I can’t watch NBA or really the NFL. College football and hoops are so much better!
especially when you’re a Gator!
Sorry I couldn’t resist.
If you didn’t know already… I’m a bulldog and have a will disregard the last comment.
Stuart,
I agree about college sports - that’s where the passion is. As far as baseball goes, you don’t have the opportunity to follow college baseball as much because it’s not as publicized/televised, so out of mere convenience I am still a MLB fan (although I’m sick about the salaries, steroids, etc). However embarassed I am to admit this, I still love the Mariners. It’s not like it was when they played in the Kingdome, so hopefully they can hurry up and win a championship before they lose me.
Pirates fan here. You can have LaRoche back. He’s useless.
Ha ha! Enjoy!
