America's True Pastime Is Ready To Return

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been Baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard. Rebuilt. And erased again. But Baseball has marked the time. This field, this game. It's a part of our past Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good. And it could be again."- Terrence Mann (Field Of Dreams)

Baseball isn't just another sport we get excited for each year. It's our pastime, our passion. And, it's no coincidence that it's return coincides with the return of Spring. Spring is about rebirth. A clean slate. A chance to start anew. Like being a child again. That is why Baseball is so dear to us. It reminds us of our childhood, when the world was full of promise and hope. When anything was possible, and each day was a fresh start.

But baseball also links us to our heritage. You think about when your Dad took you to games as a child, just like he thinks about when his Dad took him to games when he was young. Sure, the venues have changed. But the game remains the same as it always was, acting as a beacon guiding our hearts to a place where hope and promise are still a possibility, no matter how dark the times. Because our nation has endured a great many things, both joyous and tragic. And through it all, there was baseball. It was that way in the past. It is that way now. And, it will be that way long after you and I are gone.

So as the days grow longer and begin to push back the night. As the breeze carries warmer air on it's wings. Know that is is here. Our pastime has returned. Baseball has come to make us feel good again!
