No... The title does not imply Valentine's Day... Instead today is the biggest small day of the year because it marks the day that pitchers and catchers report to spring training. I love this day. Watching video of this day brings sensory explosion. The first glance at green grass (which was more powerful when I lived in Michigan!), the sound of the crack of the catcher's glove, and the mysterious smell of pine tar, dirt, sweat, ben gay and Kodiac. I can almost feel the seams of a baseball in my hand as I ponder the senses of the first day of spring training. This year is especially exciting as many are predicting that the Tigers will go 162-0. That is, if their bullpen holds up. It the bullpen stinks then they might only be looking at 150-12.

So, basically the Tigers are going to be the greatest team of all time? Ever! In the history of baseball!? Just curious. :)
