Four More Days

Well it's almost time. Just four more days until baseball season starts. It's about time.

The gap between the end of hockey season and the beginning of baseball season is often easily bearable. April and May generally tends to get lost in the rain and clouds and playoff hockey. This year was different. This year we were out hitting balls in March which I don't think I have ever done before in my life. The weather was good; it was warm and sunny more often then not. It screamed for baseball, and yet I was forced to wait.

Two weeks ago when I was finally to get a taste of game action in Orillia for a tournament, it poured rain and the temperature actually dipped below freezing. As I stated in my facebook status, some summer sports are fun in the cold and the snow ... baseball is not one of them. Suffice to say, I was not very happy with that.

Two weeks and a few practices later, it's now almost time. One last practice Sunday, first game Tuesday, 8:30. Four days, one long weekend away. I'm not sure when it actually hit me just how close it is. Maybe when the schedule was emailed out the other day, maybe when I wrote in on the calendar, or maybe when I counted the days. But I must say I'm pretty excited.

Now if only I knew what position I'll actually be playing ...
