Get Fit With Meghan The Trainer, Clay's Son Loves The Snow & The Dallas Country Club Has Water Issues
I haven't cared about baseball in a long time, but even I am jonesing for a flaming hot shot of Spring Training right now
It's snowing again here in Ohio with another couple of inches expected today to go on top of the 18-inch snow base that has piled up this week. For some reason, all I could think of this morning was Spring Training and what it must be like this week for people in Florida and Arizona to know that they're getting baseball back and the weather is pretty much perfect.
I start thinking about playing 18, having lunch, going to a Red Sox game in Fort Myers even though I'm not a Red Sox fan, having a couple of beers, stadium dog(s), and then making it back to the condo to see the sunset while listening to Pandora Yacht Rock. That's where I'm at right now with this winter. The mind is starting to wander. I need to keep my head straight for the next two weeks until the thaw can start.
My immediate plan is simple: throw on the Genesis Open from Riviera Country Club, dive headfirst into the remaining winter projects that need to be completed before golf season and try not to think of Rawlings baseballs made in Costa Rica cracking catcher's mitts. Oh, and it's time for my brother to get his ass up I-75 to help install the two-keg beer system that's built into the basement wall.
Suck it, winter. Soon you'll be old news.
• Speaking of catchers, Buster Posey kept his arm strength while sitting out 2020 by throwing balled up diapers at his 9-year-old son. Posey decided to sit out the year after he and his wife adopted twin girls that were born eight-weeks premature. The Giants catcher will be 34 by the end of camp, and this could be his final season in San Francisco with the team holding a $22 million option in 2022.
