Spring is in the air and it’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s always exciting at the beginning of a new baseball season. Anything can and probably will happen during the course of the season. In light of the impending baseball season, I would like to share with you a few links to some great online stories to get you in the mood.- First, there was a great article in this week’s World Magazine titled “Character Counts“. This article by Marvin Olasky (Editor in Chief and huge baseball fan) contains commentary by Braves’ pitcher John Smoltz on the importance of character when looking at the worth of a player. Great read!
- Second, fellow blogger and Baptist Press sports columnist Tim Ellsworth has a great story on Los Angeles Dodger (and former Brave) J.D. Drew.
- Third, here are a few links to sites featuring news about baseball: ESPN Baseball, Sports Illustrated’s Baseball Season Preview, Major League Baseball’s Official Site, and FOX Sports MLB Opening Day.
Ah, yes! Spring. The time of year when a young man’s fancy turns from lesser things to those of real importance.
Baseball.
Go Marlins — though after their firesale, Part II, they will be hardpressed to win 60 games, but I predict they will be 65-97 and I’ll be tickled pink.
