It's time for spring training in baseball. This is maybe my favorite time of the year in sports. Though I don't follow baseball nearly as closely as I did before the infamous strike that took out the World Series, I nonetheless get a warm feeling for this time of year when all the teams have an unblemished record and a chance to win the whole shebang! It's a beautiful before-time when none of the losses count and all the talent is "developing". There's little more pure in American culture than baseball's spring training. It's the best of what we are, aspiring to improve each and every day and season and year.
Alas all that will change when the season actually begins and some teams are eliminated before the end of May, but it's not now. Hope for one and all.
