In Minnesota, the dreary weather forces us to scurry into our frigid cars in order to avoid ten minutes of potential frostbite, watch endless sporting events from the comfort of our couch while we dread the next day’s busy schedule and eating endlessly imitating the act of hibernation. All of this is done anxiously awaiting the beginning of the end - the end of winter and the beginning of Spring Training. There is no smell quite like the start of baseball season. The air is fresh, the grass smells crisp while appearing dewy soft, and the birds begin to chirp as though to announce the arrival of America’s pastime. As a great player once said:
“People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.” ~Rogers Hornsby
Hornsby’s perspective couldn’t be more accurate.
We need to look toward the positives this time of year including Spring Training starting soon, NFL free agency gaining gossip steam, March Madness on the horizon, not to mention Opening Day of MLB and the NFL Draft (best day of the year) right around the corner. These are positives, these are reasons to ignore the dreary weather, and these are things to look forward to.
Stay positive and keep your head up because winter is almost over and the most exciting time of the sports season is almost here!
