Baseball been berry, berry good to me

Spring training is finally here and all I can say is -- IT'S ABOUT TIME.
I know that the game has been taken over in the slot of NATIONAL PASTIME, heck some might even say it is past its time, but I remain a fan.
Because on any given day, the unthinkable can happen. I have been at the ballpark when Reggie Jackson hit an inside-the-park home run while still a young member of the As. I have seen Juan Marichal, Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and other numerous Hall-of-Fame players while growing up in the S.F. Bay Area.
For me, baseball still holds sway as the country's best professional sport.
I been waiting for this berry moment for a long time.

RT, you can search the globe from here to eternity, but you will never find a more gifted baseball player than Roberto Clemente. The guy could just flat do it all.
