In spite of the Mitchell Report and the hearing with Roger Clemens, I refuse to give up on Major League Baseball. Sure, there were some bad apples. Think about it – every profession has its share of them! For me, I am looking forward to the new season for a few reasons.
1. Joe Torre – Okay, so I am biased! I can’t wait to see what he can do with my hometown Los Angeles Dodgers. There have been some important acquisitions with players also…
2. Excitement – One of my favorite things to do is go to one of those early games in the MLB season. The stands are packed, the hopes are high!
3. Anticipation – Especially in the early months of the season – I love the anticipation of seeing whether my team is going to do well.
4. Long season – From the time pitchers and catchers report in February to the World Series in October, there are really only three months out of the year we don’t have baseball!
5. There are still good guys! In spite of the scandals and investigations, there are many admirable players and coaches in the league. I’m not ready to give up!
