WAS I THE ONLY ONE TO MISS THIS NEWS????

Was I in a comma or something????????????????

Spring Training camp to open on Feb. 18

The Boston Red Sox begin their 15th year of spring training camp in Fort Myers, Florida, one month from today on Sunday, February 18 with the first workout for pitchers and catchers at the club's Player Development Complex.

========================

Baseball, in the words of A. Bartlett Giamatti, lover of the game, fan of the game, Commissioner of Major League Baseball (1989):

"It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone."

"There are a lot of people who know me who can't understand for the life of them why I would got to work on something as unserious as baseball. If they only knew."

"There's nothing bad that accrues from baseball."

Thanks Bart. Thanks Jayme.

Hello!! I am with you on baseball. Our Rangers are not worth a crap though. Our son plays short stop and we really enjoy watching the kids play.I hope I do not have to miss it this year. Glad to see your spirits are high. Do you all need anything? Sure wish you could have gotten a pick of you riding in the wheel chair all wrapped up. Glad it smoothly. Hearing how well they have treated you I just might have to write the hospital and tell them what a great team they have. Let me know if you all need anything. Any candy or goodies that you like and can have right now?
Your friends,
The Texas Ladies

Our Red Sox owner group in Boston is one of the best in all sporting. THEY GET IT! The fans pay the bills. Give them a worthwhile product and we will pay a premium price to keep watching it. Here in Boston we pay the highest per seat prices of all MLB cities - including NY.
Hey, some people pay alot for wine...
Me, I like my baseball - any city, any game, any league!
