Is it too late to try to become a pro baseball player?

The Franchise: A Season With the San Francisco Giants

A thank you to my sister-in-law Devry who tipped me off to this.

CRESTB

A new and exciting topic for my readers... Marty Lurie, who does some of the SF Giants radio post-game show, often talks about how when you watch a baseball game, you often see something you've never seen before. He says he's been watching the game for years and that is what still makes it exciting.

So my CRESTB is not a tribute to toothpaste (although I do like teeth), but rather "Can't Remember Ever Seeing That Before". (I was going to do "Something I've Never Seen", but I didn't want people thinking I had a bunch of random confession posts...SINS)

So my CRESTB of a few nights ago was seeing a pitcher get picked off at first base. Usually their leads away from the first basemen are high-school slow dance distance, but not this time.

Song of the day - Have a nice year everyone.

I apologize if the MV creeps you out; I think it's awesome though. So many random smiles. It's just a shame that it's not Jan 1... so let's just extract the theme and realize that we can start fresh any time we want, which is a very refreshing thought, actually.

Time really is a valuable thing. It's wild to think that in the same seven minutes I wasted posting this, someone else used the same time to do something meaningful; a doctor just cut the thread of a suture, someone important somewhere signed an important document, a lady just had a baby, etc.

Sometimes when I realize those things I get overwhelmed and discouraged. But instead, why don't we just get inspired and be optimistic for the future. After all, "it's gonna be a good year."
