Baseball In January? |

Baseball In January? I must be loco. Here it is January 2.
What am I thinking about? Baseball, and specifically my glove.
Hey, I used to do that when I was a kid. That's one habit I
cannot seem to break. I have not tried very hard to snap that
habit. I can see my glove in my minds eye in the garage on top
of a heap of my daughter's softball gear. Her glove, her batting
gloves, and some softballs are all in the milk crate in my
garage. I remember as a kid I would always find time to think
baseball in January. I would find my glove to make sure that it
still has the fit I liked. Hey I had not played in three months.
Maybe the glove some how got disfigured by the by by well
whatever. I had to do some oiling of my glove. Hey I had to take
care of the mitt. I had to get back into the swing of things.
And the swing of things meant baseball.
I had to go and find my bat. Did it still feel right to me? I
think I will take a few practice swings. Nice and easy. As I
checked out my wrists I started getting a warm glow. How many
days 'till the season starts? I can't wait. Now it was time to
pick up the baseball. Get that grip in my hand. Get the feel. I
would take a few slow motion tosses without throwing the ball.
Just limbering up the arm a bit. This is when I used to think I
was a pitcher and make believe I was throwing one to Yogi or
Elston Howard. This felt great. I would never throw the ball. I
was inside the house.
Except for this one time when I was going through my motions. It
wasn't so bad. I learned how to plaster a wall that winter.
