This time of year brings to mind many memories and exciting feelings for all of us baseball fans. The change in temperatures, returning foliage and the sweet sound of maple or ash connecting with leather. As we in the northeast watch the progress in Florida during February, we can not feel more jealous and anxious of the daily activities and reports viewed on a daily basis. In a short time however baseball will return to many of our daily lives, as if it hasn't already.
Time to renew rivalries with our all of our friends and family who root for the enemies. It's also the time for Mets fans to renew our hope that this team will turn around their ill-fated run of either successful let downs or majorly disappointing season. That's spring! It's a yearly ritual with our Mets. You have to admit that there is part of you, me and all of the Met nation that absolutely loves every heartbreaking moment of it. It may seem self deprecating to go through such let down every year but that's what gives us our strength. So year after year we come back in February to watch what CAN be instead of what is likely to be. For a Met fan ignorance is bliss, especially come spring. It's the dream of better that drives us....
It's Spring Training fans. Wake up!, but let the dreaming continue. Let's Go Mets!
