Baseball is near and dear to my heart. It is the true signal that spring has sprung to me. Not that flowers blooming and warmer weather bringing out the more colorful of us into light isn’t worth celebrating as well. This show is dedicated to spring and the romance of baseball. Thank you to Johhny “Bouldt” Reynolds and DJ Ruff for joining me in this expression of our national pastime and the warmth of spring. Hope springs eternal.
