We have one more week of bread-and-circus hoopla leading up to the Super Bowl, and then we can shift our full attention to what really matters: baseball.
Spring training is just around the corner. Knowing that pitchers and catchers will soon be breaking out the balls and mitts keeps us going through the cold months.
As much as I anticipate the return of the daily ritual of baseball, I know that these long weeks of winter are necessary to keep the love of the game alive.
For this San Francisco Giants fan, this will be the shortest off-season in my lifetime. I hung on every game through the end of the World Series, which ended in November, for goodness’ sakes. The new season starts early, on March 31.
Bring it on.

As a Mets fan, it’s been a long time since I got to celebrate a victorious off-season. But as the Giants showed last year, anything is possible (unless you’re the Pirates or the Royals.)
It’ll be here before you know it. Cheers, Bill
