A blanket of snow covers the field at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park on January 20th...the best snow we've had in five years. I was inspired to poetry:Beneath the snow baseball waits.
The base paths and home plate,
they hibernate.
...but the snow quickly melted and I lost my muse. Still, the mind wanders to sunny Florida, Spring Training and the Grapefruit League.
Our Tampa Bay Rays will be in a new venue at Port Charlotte.
ROAD TRIP!
