Baseball: A Way of Life

Ahh, it’s finally baseball season again, my favorite season of the year. Normally when people are asked which season is their favorite, they make references to either Winter, Fall, Spring or Summer and sometimes people choose multiple seasons. For me, I’ve spent nearly all my life around a diamond in one aspect or another. In fact, before I became a broadcaster, I played the game until I was eight years old when I broke my finger trying to bunt a ball. Instead of the ball hitting the bat, it took a painful detour and hit my pointer finger on my right hand. I wound up playing the remainder of the game in the outfield. Ever since then, I’ve spent my time in the broadcast booth. While I enjoy being a broadcaster, nothing can compare to Atlanta Braves baseball. I’m like a little kid on Christmas morning when it comes to the Braves. In fact, I will be watching the game today against Bryce Harper and the Philadelphia Phillies from my phone when the first pitch is thrown at 2:05pm CT. Today, baseball fans around the world will be glued to their televisions and mobile devices patiently waiting on their respective team’s season to start. Yes, I will be one of those fans.
