I need a fix.
Pitchers and catchers reported today and I'm itching for Spring Training baseball.
Last night I watched the first three hours of Ken Burn's definitive, 18-and-a-half hour-long "Baseball." Before that it was "Major League" (I and II), "Moneyball" and "A League of Their Own." And tonight, before I left the house, I preloaded the DVD player with "Bull Durham."
Except a movie isn't baseball, it's methadone. And I'm a junkie.
Unable to cure my condition, I spent some time last week going through last season's Aces photos. This helped a little and because I know I'm not the only one jonesing, I decided to share a few of my favorites. Enjoy. And remember, it's only ten days 'til Florida State opens the exhibition season.
