So this has nothing to do with religion. Well, not exactly anyway. But pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training on Friday, the rest of the team will be in camp and beginning their team workouts early next week.

Rememeber how exciting the week before Christmas was when you were a kid? I feel that way about baseball season. Let's play already!

I have no doubt that baseball is God's favorite game. After all, the first words of the Holy Bible are "In the Big Inning..."

EDITED TO ADD: I've been staring at this picture. Is that Bishop Finn? And is he actually trying to steal signs?

Hi Coffee Catholic-- isn't it great? They're playing the San Diego Padres!

Just kidding.

When the Holy Father was in New York last year, he offered Mass at Yankee Stadium. These are some bishops milling around before Mass begins.
