DO YOU KNOW WHAT SATURDAY IS????!!!!!!!!!!

If the picture hasn't given it away already, the answer is the first official spring training games!!!! FUCK YES! BASEBALL! AMERICA! I can't even explain how pumped I am, this shit is better than Christmas for me. For me, baseball is the greatest game ever made. It has always and will always be my favorite sport of all time. Granted, I know the crowd I'm preaching this too. Half the guys on here can't stand the sport. Well, suck my dick you communist bastards.



Let me spell out just what spring training means.



It means spring, which means warm, which means beaches, BBQ's, and bikinis. You can take your pond hockey and sub-zero weather and shove it. (note, I do like pond hockey but fuck cold weather man) Some of my greatest memories come from trips to the ballpark. Whether it be Fenway or Yankee Stadium, its just pure magic. Baseball just has a certain mystique about it that can't be explained. As much as it saddens me to say, unless you love the sport you can't understand it. Kind of like me and soccer. I don't care if its the world's most popular sport, I just can't get into it and believe me I have tried.

You may be asking, whats so great about spring training? The real season doesn't even start untill April. Well here's why. There's a sense of unknown. You never know which kid is gonna get his big break and get his shot with the big club. Also, its funny to watch multi-million dollar superstars be forced to play in second hand-minor league stadiums. They're almost forced to get back to their roots. Last year i had the chance to go to my first spring training game and it was awesome. I got to see all of the guys i would in the regular season, but this time it only cost me 20$ and I was 10 rows back. Can't beat that, just can't.

I know I've been rambling but let me just leave you with this. In the words of the immortal Kenny Powers: Winter, you're fucking out!
