The crack of the bat, a lovely sound. It must be the 1st day of practice.
Everyone was ready to go, the wait has been tough. A long practice but no one complained, not once. Plenty of ground balls for the infielders, PFP's (pitcher fielding practice), fly balls for hours. The final and most enjoyable part was a 6 inning intrasquad game. And then it rained.
We had to wait an extra 3 weeks to practice and then the rain started falling. This is why you can't give teams two weeks to prepare for a season. It might rain that long.
The second practice is on the football field, sprint turf keeps us working. But we were horrible. We couldn't play catch. There was no enthusiasm, no pride and little was accomplished.
When pressed the players made excuses, the turf was slippery. This could be a long season, if things don't improve.
And it's only day two.
