You can’t see me, but trust me when I say that right now I’ve got a serious case of perma-grin. Why, you might ask? Well, this is the second article I’ve written today, and they are both about baseball!

To say I’m excited about baseball season is a bit of an understatement. College baseball just started, and high school baseball and Major League Baseball will be here before the end of March. Then we only have to wait until May for the Evansville Otters to take the field.

These are all of the special occasions or themed games. Just about every home game has some sort of promotional tie-in, just in case you needed another reason to go watch a ball game at historic Bosse Field.
