I, like everyone else, am extremely pumped for this season. I do however find it a little sad that we are so desperate for success that we have to lean SO heavily into baseball. Thank God we have it though. I might have had to bag it if faced with another season with lemonis after this past year.

I am excited also, but downright depressed at every other major sport we have right now. It puts a damper on my overall excitement for sure. Hopefully they have a great season.
