Hall of Famer and St. Louis Cardinals great Rogers Hornsby had a unique outlook on the baseball offseason.
“People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball,” he said. “I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.”
Well, baseball fans, it’s mid-January. The New York Yankees’ pitchers and catchers will report to Tampa in just under four weeks, on Feb. 14. Spring Training is just around the corner, and patience is a virtue.
And as the late, great Tom Petty said, the waiting is the hardest part.
