The Teammates

Years ago I read a book by David Halberstam called The Teammates. It followed the friendship of Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dom Dimaggio, and Johnny Pesky. It was a fun read that let you into the circle of a great group of teammates. Of course Ted was the superstar who studied the game to an extent nobody else had. His other teammates were playing a game. The book has some great stories of how those different philosophies clashed.

Ready For Baseball

There is a slim chance that I get to see some baseball this coming weekend. It can’t come soon enough. The winter gets kind of long without baseball. I have been very jealous of my friends who have been down south making baseball photos. Baseball will be here soon though. It is an amazing game that I have loved since I can remember. It also means that winter is almost over when it finally gets here.
