a heart warming day

If you don't have a warm tingle in your chest today, well...you're probably not consuming enough msg's....time to go get a baconater stat! Joking. Of course I'm talking about Pitchers and Catchers reporting for Spring Training!
This, more than Ground Hog Day, dictates how close spring is for me. Looking at the above picture brings back all the wonderful smells and sounds of baseball... a crisp spring day, the crack from a wooden bat, the fresh cut grass, the fresh spit tobacco (which according to my Pap's dentist is better for you than chewing gum. Mind you, my Pap's had false teeth as long as I've known him, so I don't know how recent this dental claim is.) And while we're on the topic of warm fuzzies, doesn't this just melt your heart?

In Dr. T's case, it may be indigestion. Good lord I'm getting pumped for some MLB action. Fantasy draft in a week and a half. Don't think I'm going to spare you some of those details. Lucky yuse guys. Happy Pitchers and Catchers Day everyone!

Glad to know that catchers and pitches are what get you warmed up on Valentine's Day...
