Poll: Baseball, its back.

[GrimTuesday]

Well, its that time of year again, baseball season has come at last. As a big baseball fan, it often seems that the next season will never come, and the four months or so in between the end of baseball and the beginning of spring training seem to drag on forever.

So, to celebrate the first games of spring training that were played today, I ask you, are you a baseball fan? If so what team/teams to you follow? If you are not a fan, explain your heretical viewpoint Perfectly legitimate opinion. I also welcome any questions any of those of you who might be interested in getting into baseball.

It is played everywhere. In parks and playgrounds and prison yards. In back alleys and farmers' fields. By small children and old men. Raw amateurs and millionaire professionals. It is a leisurely game that demands blinding speed. The only game in which the defense has the ball. It follows the seasons, beginning each year with the fond expectancy of springtime, and ending with the hard facts of autumn. It is a haunted game, in which every player is measured against the ghosts of all who have gone before. Most of all, it is about time and timelessness. Speed and grace. Failure and loss. Imperishable hope. And coming home.

For any baseball fans who don't know, we have a baseball group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Baseball-Group] here on the Escapist, where you can talk about baseball all you want.
