As I recycle the 2014 New
Britain Rock Cats calendar in my office and exchange it for a fresh 2015
series of months, I feel anticipation growing. That means we’re one hurdle
closer to a new baseball season.
Even as a youth, I anticipated the
first day of practice as much as Christmas. We didn’t play many organized games
in those days, but I savored every one.
I still feel most alive when I’m
at the ballpark. The expanse of green. The span of the base paths. The crisp
sound of wood meeting ball.
So how do I spend New Year’s
morning? Posting the Fan Club calendar to our blog site:
Please check back often since
our schedule is fluid and subject to change. Better yet, join us for our first
Fan Club meeting of the new year. (You’ll find details at the link above.) Bring a friend. And don’t
forget to bring your annual dues – still just $5 per person and $15 per family.
I also want to thank you for
your vote of confidence during October’s elections. Thank you for your patience
when my business travel interferes with our scheduled events, as it did for
that meeting. One of my resolutions is to continue to grow into the role as
your elected president.
As you'll notice on our updated Events page, only 97 days until our traditional
Welcome Back Senators evening! That alone makes 2015 look brighter already.
