The unofficial end of winter is when "pitchers and catchers" report for spring training. That actually happens next week but it is not unheard of for some eager beavers to turn up early. With February becoming a long cold slog its easy to see why.
I don't know how my Minnesota Twins will do this year. In addition to the usual roster shuffles there is the lingering off feeling from the Covid impacted 2020 season. For me baseball is an escape from the mundane world. Last year reality was far too intrusive.
Oh well, perhaps there will be another pennant for the home town lads. And in that spirit a rare "guest blog". Or rather simply sharing some nice work by a learned fellow with whom I periodically correspond.
The blue one on the right was something of an enigma, clearly it had stylist similarities to the white pennant but it had no company mark or MLB logo, so presumably was a bit earlier. Well, courtesy of the Pennant Fever blog, here's the whole tale!
Soon, but none too soon for my tastes, baseball will return. Hope Springs Eternal.
