The smell of hot dogs and peanuts. The crack of the bat. The old season ends. The new season begins.
Like the the legendary fiery Phoenix who would renew itself endlessly from the pyre to begin again, baseball today starts fresh once more. As has been said, everyone starts again with the same record, everyone could potentially have same opportunity for glory. For one, that glory will be realized. For the rest, they experienced the joy and exhilaration of the effort.
And then the Phoenix arises from the ashes again, and again.
Have a glorious season gentlemen. Good luck and good fun to all of you.
Sincerely,
