Go Twins!

The Husband and I have purchased tickets to two games at Target Field this season. I am excited to see the new park and looking forward to a new season of Twins baseball.

Despite my not-so-positive feelings about major league sports in general (there's too much emphasis on the money, not enough love for the sports themselves... which is a topic for another post someday...), I find myself energized by a new baseball season. I think Terrance Mann summed it up best (from the movie Field of Dreams) when he said,

..."The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again."

This quote not only keeps me in love with baseball, it reminds me of new beginnings. As an unemployed corporate drone trying to find her place in the working world, this has more meaning to me now than ever.
