It's a new season. Anyone who plays sports or has played any sport knows that practice is necessary, but it quickly becomes tedious. Your first scrimmage is always a date that every player & coach looks forward to.
Thus is the case today with the start of the Grapefruit League & Cactus League. Players get to react to game situations. Coaches get to try their players in certain roles. It's not the same as Opening Day, but it is a step in that direction.
For those lucky fans attending games today, it's a step for us too. We get to pay for parking again. We get to stand for the National Anthem. We get to buy our first dog for an outrageous sum of money. But we get to talk baseball again with our spouse or friends.
The sound of "play ball" today means Opening Day & Spring can't be far away.
