I found this gem online before going to bed tonight and had to share it.
Clayton Kershaw is one of the Dodgers most exciting prospects. It's not likely that he'll make it to the starting rotation this season, but hey, he's just 20 years old so that's not all that bad. That clip makes me smile. I'm an old-school baseball fan. I love small ball games and pitchers duels. Homeruns may be exciting, but I'd rather see extra base hits and smart base-running win my games. Kershaw's curve is killer and hearing Vin Scully (a god amongst men) call it makes it all that better.
I love this time of year!! When the weather begins to warm up. When the days begin getting longer. When Baseball's Spring Training is winding down, and everyone is dusting off their baseball gear for the coming Summer! When Holy Week is upon us, and we have one final week to dedicate to our Lenten promises before commemorating Christ's Passion and celebrating His Resurrection!
I guess you could say I have Spring Fever. I am so affected by the seasons and weather... it's crazy. Maybe it's because I was lucky enough to grow up in Southern California ... where we never really had seasons, and the sun shined most of the year. But it's no secret, that when the winter comes, I'm irritable. I don't like being cold. (But Erica, don't you love skiing? - Yes, I do. But I like to visit the winter. Enjoy it. And then go back to the beach where I belong.) The weather in Seoul has really warmed up the past week. And knock on wood that it continues to do so! It even broke 60 degrees today! Not even the dreaded yellow dust can break my spirits. Even though I won't be able to go to any Dodger games this year...sigh.... I am still excited for baseball season. I'll watch the games online - I'll be good. Aaaaand, professional baseball in Korea started up last weekend and I plan on going to many-a-game. I'll be rooting for the Doosan Bears... b/c the other Seoul team is the Giants and that's just against my nature. good news is the Bears' colors are blue and white!! So I can still say - with a new double meaning- THINK BLUE!

This is why I love my little sister....what 22 year old girl not only likes small ball, but actually KNOWS what it is?
:) Yup.. I'm perfect.
Of course, I do come from a family of smart baseball fans. (Aside from that horrid pinstriped black mark on mom's side.)
