February 17 - the day the major baseball leagues push through the winter's soil and emerge into the light!
Do we ever need baseball!
The thought of sounds of "Play Ball", the crack of the bat, the bursts of music, and the roar of fans is simply intoxicating!
After this long siege of illness, masks, cancellations, isolation, snow, ice - we long for those sunny sideline seats, basking in community.
It's just a sport.
But it's so much more. A signal that life as we once treated like negligible currency, is so utterly precious in its ordinary pleasures.
