There is no doubt in my mind that spring is my favorite season. The sun stays up later, the grass begins to grow, my grill gets more use… above all, though, is the fact that it means baseball and, more importantly, the Boston Red Sox have returned.
Sure, they’ve been playing baseball since late February this year, but that’s spring training, which is like the appetizer before the main course; it’s only meant to whet your palate. We want the main course, regular season baseball, and more importantly, we want regular season baseball in New England. That first week on the road? Simply the aroma of what’s to come.
