At first, I didn't believe it, either. But through some sort of miracle, baseball owners and players were able to reach an agreement that will allow the entire 2022 baseball season to take place, with regular season games beginning on April 7th. It has been a cold and snowy start to the year here in Denver, and so I am looking forward to watching some spring training games on MLB.com from warm and sunny Florida and Arizona. I am very hopeful that my South Side heros, the Chicago White Sox, go all the way to the World Series this season. As for the Colorado Rockies, who have been pretty bad the past 3 years, and have now lost their top two position players, it will be interesting to see how much worse they can get this season. Years ago (1961 to be exact) my father Nelson took me to Wrigley Field to see the Chicago Cubs play the Philadelphia Phillies, who were in the process of setting the major league record for the longest losing streak since 1900. He had a hunch that the Cubs might actually win that game, and he was right. Is it possible that I might be able to watch the Rockies beat that record at Coors Field this year? Definitely something to look forward to. Nothing like watching history in the making. And by the way, the photo above was taken back in 1996 at Municipal Stadium in West Palm Beach, Florida, spring training home of the Montreal Expos. Sadly, neither the Expos nor Municipal Stadium exist anymore.
