From the beginning of Spring Training
to the last day of the World Series each year, my life is totally
wrapped around baseball. I watch whatever game happens to be playing
on TV each day, no matter what teams are involved. The first thing I
check each morning is the scores and stats of the day before, and the
times of the televised games coming up. As you may have guessed, I'm
extremely passionate about Baseball. That's probably why
Wednesday-Elf is the Baseball Fan Contributor on Review This.
Besides my 'daily dose' of TV baseball,
I have been to games in person in a couple of Major League stadiums,
and these days frequently go to our minor league Single-A team games,
the Sand Gnats, here in Savannah, Georgia. Many a great major league
player has come out of minor league baseball and Hank
Aaron, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Jackie Robinson
once played here at our humble Grayson Stadium, the oldest (1926)
working minor league stadium in the United States today.

March brings Spring Training each year as teams and players prepare for Opening Day of Major League Baseball beginning most years in early April. This Baseball Fan is also busy this time of year, getting
ready to follow favorite teams throughout the season. I also spend time featuring baseball stories about this, our
favorite sport, on my baseball blog "Baseball Moments and Memories" and reading baseball stories from others.
For instance, our own Mary Beth (mbgphoto here on Review This) gives us a fun review of hers (and my) favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals, at Spring Training in Jupiter, Florida where she attends the Cardinals' Spring Training games each season.

Many events take place throughout
baseball season, one of the earliest being 'Jackie Robinson Day' on
April 15 – the day every ball player on every team wears the number
42 (Jackie's number) to honor him and his contribution to baseball. Greekgeek has written a wonderful tribute to this special player.
These are just a few of the people and
pages I will continue to feature during baseball season as the 'Baseball
Fan Contributor.' I invite all baseball fans to join me for the
upcoming season... and beyond.
