I’m sitting in my rocking chair at 6:00 a.m. this morning, getting ready for the second baseball game of the major league season, broadcast live from Tokyo, the Red Sox against the A’s. I watched yesterday’s early morning game also, sipping my first cup of coffee and enjoying an egg-on-bagel sandwich. It’s a thrill to start the baseball season this way – a fine way to celebrate the arrival of warm weather and a cherished pastime. The daylight is just beginning to brighten my little town as the first batter for the Red Sox steps in.
