Go Indians!

Baseball is like a marathon. It begins in April and continues into October. Each season brings new hope for the fans that "next year" is here and maybe this is the year. No game is over until the last out. Old guys (ie. Kenny Lofton) contribute as much as the young bucks. Thanks to mlb.com, I am able to follow my Cleveland Indians from abroad. Each morning I check the box scores to see if Cleveland has put any more real estate between themselves and the pesky Tigers. I enjoy watching C.C. add more to his win column or more K's to his repertoire. Will the under appreciated Tribe produce a Cy Young winner or a manager of the year? On a more personal note, Ryan is developing a love for baseball, playing for the local team in Jerusalem. The team is made up mostly of Israelis whose parents (usually the father) grew up in the States and have passed the love of the game to their offspring. Because we have warm, dry weather most of the year, we have a spring and a fall season for the junior and senior leagues.
While following the box scores on the internet is not the same as attending a big league game in person, watching my son in a little league game is just as satisfying!
