Reporting for duty!

Yes Sir!
The pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training!
Its so exciting!
I heard you can see green grass in the outfield of Target Field!
I watched the clip of Joe Mauer on Jimmy Fallon and was struck by how poised Joe appeared. Jimmy seemed genuinely to admire Joe not only for his baseball prowess but also that he stayed with the home team. Frankly I think Mauer is an excellent representation for the MLB. He kinda comes off like the old time ball players.
I am well aware that I have a romanticized memory of baseball history, partly from the idyllic black and white films of players like Gehrig, Mantle and DiMaggio. To say I am idealistic about baseball is putting it mildly, baseball is Field of Dreams, The Natural and Pride of the Yankees. Good guys playing Americas past time.

I really am excited for our"good guys" to start playing again at Target Field!!!

Go Twins!
