Fun & Games
The last three days have been a whirlwind of fun for me.
On Friday, J. Cole dropped the most anticipated album of my life (I’ve already listened to it like five times). On Saturday Seth Trimble and UNC did this to Duke. Then on Sunday I got to just hang around the house, eat more food than I should and watch a Super Bowl that I had zero investment in.
As many baseball fans have already noted on all the social media platforms, the conclusion of the Super Bowl basically serves as the unofficial start of baseball season.
Here in Northern Virginia I’m surrounded by snow. The weather has been below freezing for multiple weeks now. It doesn’t feel like baseball season around these parts, but we’re definitely overdue for some actual baseball games.
And if you’re plugged into the amateur side of things, we’ve got real games coming up this week. I can’t wait.
I’m heading to Texas later this week for the opening weekend of Division I baseball. I’ll be able to watch a ton of talented players and hopefully see some competitive games and catch up with some friends in the industry as well. It’ll be great to be writing about what is actually happening on the field after months of previewing and reviewing throughout the Winter.
This weekend was a nice reminder of how wonderfully distracting sports can be. Baseball is about to be just that for months and months for all of us seamheads. Only a few days before we get rolling in earnest.
Hang in there!
