PrintMy bro wrote a poem that I thought you all would enjoy. GO CUBS!!
The snow has melted away
And the robins are here.
God I love this time of year!
The sound of the vendors
Selling hotdogs and beer.
God I love this time of year!
Taking that inside pitch
Without any fear.
God I love this time of year!
The crack of the bat
So loud in my ear.
God I love this time of year!
Crossing home plate
As everyone cheers.
God I love this time of year!
One more hope
That “This is the year”
GOD IM GLAD BASEBALL IS HERE!!

And you’ll see Hoff in Right

I’ll lose sleep, because of fright

May help me forget the plays he’d botch
