sigh…hard to get in the mood…
A sad site…
Keep positive baseball fans…on this snowy Sunday, think about this quote from Ernie Banks:
“Spring training means flowers, people coming outdoors, sunshine, optimism, and baseball. Spring training is a time to think about being young again.”
Who doesn’t need a little bit of that mindset?
1. I will add to this blog regularly! (AND I REALLLLY MEAN IT THIS TIME)
2. I will not be the loudest parent in the bleachers (lol, not out loud…really…)
3. I absolutely will not run around the house like a maniac looking for baseball pants, belt, socks or a hat. You’re on your own boys…. (really)
4. I will not cocktail at games (unless we are at a park that actually serves cocktails…) really? But if someone offers me a red solo cup I will not be rude…cause it would be.
5. I will wear sunblock – which, of course, we won’t need until August. I have a new nanuck-from-the-north parka JUST for spring ball!
6. I will not debate how “that kid” made the team and how/why he is batting ahead of my kid. Well, not if it’s borderline…if it’s painfully obvs that he has no business in that slot…maybe an eyeroll or a sharp elbow to whomever is bleachering next to me.
7. I will not criticize the shortness of the girls’ shorts who come to support the boys. But seriously…is that even comfortable?
8. I will not let my dog shove his head into the cooler that you so lovingly packed with your player’s nutritious snack for between the double-header. I can’t be held responsible for items in your lap, next to you on the bleachers, or an item that is in your hand on the way to your mouth. I just can’t.
9. I will only scream positive encouragement. (I’m cracking myself up right now…)
10. I will soak up every minute that I get to be at a ballpark, watching my son play baseball….R E A L L Y!
PLAY BALL!
