OPENING DAY

This was sent to me by a friend who is a fellow devotee of our national pastime.
Thank you Dickson.

ESPN read this poem on the air before the Red Sox v. Yankees game this week-

Let me show you a land
the greatest of all
with borders that stretch
from the spring to the fall.

Emerald fields plush with diamonds
and pearls gleaming white
with meatballs becoming taters
soaring into the night.

A land of hot corners
where hoses throw heat
into your kitchen
where there's plenty to eat.

There's pickles, there's pepper
there's peas, and there's cheese
And shoestrings making catches
with the greatest of ease.

Many eye-pleasing sights
also found on display.
An ace that throws deuces, a tailor-made double play.

Ducks on a pond
wait for springing line drives
to hitch a ride home
on pop-ups and slides.

This land welcomes all
to dream and to play
This land is Baseball, It's Opening Day.

What a day it was for baseball at Fishhack Field! We enjoyed sunshine and green grass poking through the brown thatch in the infield.

It appears spring is arriving just in time for spring break. It's time for a much needed time out from our daily routines.

So, no practice during break. But do try find time now and again to pick up a ball and glove and play some catch in between skiing, sunning and travelling.

We'll pick it up again on Monday, March 22nd.

Have a wonderful break!

And don't forget to do your sit ups!
