Groundhog Day
Greetings, Woodchuck chuckers! It's Groundhog Day!
MLB pitchers and catchers report in a couple of weeks, but might I suggest a more robust menu? Real games begin in the college ranks in a few weeks. Old Dominion University, where my son and sometimes co-author here on SBY attends, opens up a three game series versus Rutgers February 22nd. They will play an exhibition versus the AAA Norfolk Tides at beloved Harbor Park on April Fools Day.
There is almost surely a college in your backyard where you can hear the crack of a bat thud against leather in a matter of days. The college games emerge from the snows soon.
Charlie don't surf, and Punxsutawney Phil don't play baseball. Speaking of surfing, I need to head to The Beach before the tourists start arriving again. See they are having their annual Millenium Chess Festival in a few weeks. Summer is never far from Virginia Beach!
I think you mean the reverberating ping of aluminum.

Paul,
Hey, I'll take what I can get 8)
I HATED aluminum bats when I played, back when high schools still used wooden bats. And you know something: I never recall one being broken. By anyone. They were well made, and we all knew how to handle one.

I only broke one bat in my life...I had it since before I was in T-Ball and I didn't manage to break it until I was almost a Freshman in High School...and I was trying ;)
