OK, I don't "transcend baseball" too often... but chances are, when I do, it'll be for golf.
Not because I'm all that crazy about the game. Not at all. My handicap hovers around 30 and my equipment is in major need of updating. But I've got a sister who writes about golf and SHE never lets it get too far from my consciousness. Patricia has a blog and a book and her own little golf empire from what I can see.
And today, when I got a text from "GolfGirl" asking me what I thought of the Tiger-Woods-Return-to-Golf-Press-Conference, I had to think fast. So I hopped on the Google machine and discovered a fine story by Gabe Lacques in USA Today's DailyPitch. In it Mr. Lacques speculates on the timing of the Tiger presser... falling as it does "amid the men's basketball national championship game and baseball's opening day"... but he ultimately reassures us that baseball prevails, at least at the ballparks.
I kind of wish my Yankees would've prevailed last night in Boston, but oh well. The double steal in the fourth inning was pretty sweet though. And hopefully, a harbinger of good things to come.
Oh and the guy who threw the first pitch at National Stadium today? I wrote about him two years ago on this blog. He's come a long way since then.
