We have arrived at a happy little day.
It’s cold in New England, with no signs of spring. But today, in mostly warmer locales, the march to summer begins. There are 114 days until the Cape League season begins, and now, thankfully, these days will have a little baseball.
The college baseball season gets going today with a couple of noon games. By evening, it’ll get going in earnest, with some nice games on tap, including a series between perennial powers Rice and Stanford.
It feels like a milestone in the Cape League off-season, a time to get this thing into gear again. The Never-Ending Countdown — I should have done 25 — will finally end on Saturday. Only a month-and-a-half late.
Then, it’s on to more important matters. My plan for the college season is to do a regular Friday post that highlights a series CCBL fans might be interested in. Then a little recap of the weekend at some point during the week, plus some random notes here and there. In late March, once the season has gotten going, I will start in on the Cape League early looks.
Before you know it, June. I can’t wait.
Happy baseball.
