Anticipation
The feeling is like Christmas Eve when I was a kid...the happiness, the excitement, the anticipation. Except this time, Christmas Eve lasts for about a month and a half.
Spring Training is now in full swing. The temperatures are in the 70s and the sun is shining in Florida. Pitchers and catchers reported to camp mid-February, and exhibition games started this week. Marty's familiar voice is back on the radio, and even better this year, he's teaming up with his son Thom.
There's always hope in the spring - hope that this year is the year that your team makes it to the playoffs, before the injuries, batting slumps, 6.47 ERAs and costly errors replace those hopes with disappointment. Maybe this year will be different. Maybe this year is the year it all comes together. Maybe?
Opening Day is a month away...and it can't get here soon enough.
