Baseball season.

I have a little smile on my face because baseball is the best sport known to man. I love baseball. Some can sit and watch football, hockey or cricket on TV. I can do it with baseball. It's the crack of the bat, the taste of the hot dog, the sound of the crowd. The Boys of Summer are coming back to treat us to series after series of the greatest game invented.

And now, a Simpsons reference:

Well Mr. Burns had done it.
The Power Plant had won it.
With Roger Clements clucking all the while,
Mike Socia's tragic illness made us smile,
While Wade Boggs laid unconscious on the bar-room tile.

We're talking softball.
From Maine to San Diego.
Were talking softball, Mattingly and Conseco,
Ken Griffy's grotesquely swollen jaw
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law,
We're talking Homer...Ozzy and the Straw.

I can't imagine anything more comical than Mr. Burns finding his calling in life on the baseball diamond. I can see him owning and manipulating that baseball diamond, but not actually burning calories on it.
Go America!

I hate baseball.

Before you ask, yes, I am a Communist.

My brother loves baseball. This creates a problem when he asks me to play catch with him, since I can't really catch with a mitt. And he throws hard for a skinny little ten year old kid. I think I'll stick with underwater basket weaving.
