Well it’s that time of year again. With the start of Spring Training, just saying it makes me smile, we are once again assured that Winter is on the run and even better yet our favorite baseball team still has a shot at greatness-the regular season hasn’t started yet. Baseball season when I was a kid started in April or March if the baseball gods were on our side. We didn’t have formal teams in my neighborhood we just played pick-up teams from other neighborhood on vacant lots and in back yards. No uniforms or Umpires just a few grass stained balls and some taped up bats. This time of the year always evokes pleasant memories. This week we’ll hear some baseball classics from Craig Bickhardt, Count Basie, John McCutcheon and of course Steve Goodman.
