One thing I forgot to mention yesterday about spring is the return of baseball! Now, living here in SC puts me in Atlanta Braves country. However, one thing from Florida I still proudly claim are my Florida Marlins. The Braves are fine, I guess, but I'll never have the love for them that I do my team. One of my most favorite memories is of being on the field, in the dugout and in the home team locker rooms of (what used to be called) Joe Robbie Stadium. I even have a bottle of dirt from the infield. Of course I could never decide if I preferred to imagine my dirt with or without someone's spit in it. I guess that depends on just how big a fan you liken yourself to be...
Does anyone else remember Monday Night Baseball? That was before ESPN, et al. Yes, that's forever ago and just kind of a random thought that floated near enough to grab.
Well, ahem, back to the Marlins. They're actually leading their division with a 4-3 record. I'm looking forward to our homestand against the Braves beginning the 15th. With the Braves bullpen (or lack thereof) it should make for an interesting series. With the televised Braves games I'll even be able to see it!
PLAY BALL!
P.S. to Dawn in PA...we lost our (minor league) hockey team - Greenville Growl
