My good friend Bill Steffen said Winter is over.  I sure hope he is right.  Almost all the snow on the field has melted.  There is a little snow on the warning track, but if I have to stand there with a heater to melt it, I will.
 
The warmer weather and all of this talk about Spring can only mean one thing: BASEBALL IS ALMOST HERE!

A lot of people ask me what my favorite thing about the season is, but I love so much about the summer that it is hard for me to answer.  I decided to make a Top 5 list of my favorite things about the baseball season.  They are not in a certain order because it is too hard to choose my favorite.  After reading my list, you should tell me yours!

Here is the list:

  1. The promotions.  Crash Dash is fun even though Franky always finds a way to distract me, and the dizzy bat races are so funny because the people never run straight.  Plus, on the really hot days, sometimes the crew surprises me by spraying the hose!
  2. The fans.  The fans are the best.  I love how loud they cheer and how excited they are. 
  3. The game.  Sometimes the Whitecaps lose and sometimes they win.  Either way, it is fun to hear the crack of the bat.  It is such a cool sound.
  4. The team.  The players always make me feel part of the team.  I know I am their number one fan, and it is fun to make special handshakes and high-five them when they do a good job.
  5. The food.  Our ballpark does a good job at feeding me.  We have a new food item being revealed at the end of March, and I cannot wait to find out what it is.  I am sure I will love it, and I cannot wait for my first hot dog of the season!
