For those of us who love baseball above and beyond any other sport, the most wonderful time of the year is coming, and it starts with that magical day when pitchers and catchers report to spring training.

It hasn't really felt that much like the dog days of summer as far as heat is concerned... not that anyone is complaining... but the dog days of the major league baseball season are well underway.

I wrote a blog a while back trying to come up with a reason for a new holiday. Well if ever there was a good reason this is it. Opening day of the major league baseball season is a day like no other to hardcore baseball enthusiasts like myself.
