Baseball has a subtly beautiful way of introducing itself into the sports year. The college baseball season begins around the same time as pitchers and catchers begin to report for MLB Spring Training.
The Miami Hurricanes had their version of spring training with a scrimmage in the middle of January. While the crisp overcast with a cool air reminds of the present presence of winter, the sight of the pitcher standing on the mound with palm trees in the background is more comforting than sipping a hot chocolate while covered in a blanket.
The torch was passed from longtime head coach Jim Morris to longtime assistant coach Geno DiMare and now the one big question that remains is whether he is going to pick up where the retired coach left off or spring a new path for himself in an effort to return the Hurricanes to their former glory.
