Ahh, The Smell of Baseball

Ahh, The Smell of Baseball

With Spring comes new beginnings. A chance to rejuvenate old memories of playing catch, working in the yard, and getting rid of the ghostly shadow from dreary winter months.

Baseball, America's pastime, brings new life to a season with high hopes and expectations. It allows us to remember the sweet smell of spring air at the ball park, and the stomach aches of poorly cooked hot dogs. While Huntington Park is only in its second year, the Columbus Clipper's are ready to continue a season of great aspirations-well it can't be worse than last season right?

Familiar faces will be shown as its time to "take me out to the ball game", but having a beautiful stadium in the midst of let downs from a season ago may not take away from the crack of a slugger bat or organ music filling the stadium. It's time to play ball.

The Columbus Clippers will throw out the first pitch against the Indianapolis Indians a week from today, and expectations of the team couldn't be bleaker. After sufferrinng one of the worst seasons in team history, the air of possiblity remains outgoing. Manny Acta's first year with the Indians only indicates a thin line of this teams potential.

Now on the mound Mike Sarbaugh.
