It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
March 19, 2007
Late March and early April — even a spring blizzard couldn’t ruin this time of year.
Why’s that? Because it’s March Madness with Major League Baseball (go, White Sox!) right around the corner!
I’m sure you heard it yesterday at church and everywhere else you went, people comparing the sad state of their brackets. I must take a moment and brag on myself (since by the end of next week I may have nothing to brag about!), but as of right now my brackets are — big grin — beating my husband’s brackets!
In our house that’s huge because there’s a trophy up for grabs. Yep, that’s it there in my sad attempt at photography.
Each year whoever picks the most wins in the Final Four tournament gets their name put on 
plaques on the base of the trophy, and the loser has to take it to the trophy shop to get it updated.
I’m sure hoping this is my year to win.
So ‘fess up, blog readers! How many of you are into the Final Four? Baseball? Sports in general? This sports nut would love to hear your about your favorite sports memory, moment, or team — even if it is that baseball team from Chicago’s north side!

Yippee! Yippee! I get to be first to post!!!
You know all my answers about Sports, but I was just thrilled to get to be the first one to post a comment!
For the rest of the readers – College Basketball (go IU – that’s Indiana University)
Huge fan of the World Series Champion St Louis Cardinals!! Season starts in 13 days.
NFL and NBA – not so much!!
For the record – I’m not winning in my brackets ( yes, I have more than one)!
What’s baseball???

It took me awhile to figure out what you were talking about. I second Kerri’s comment–What’s baseball? LOL!
Forgot to say… that trophey/plaque thing is a really fun idea!!
I enjoy sports, Sally, but I have to be careful not to get so involved it takes me away from what needs doing. Baseball? Cubs (sorry, but I’m a northsider). Football? Bears, but I didn’t let myself get caught up in the frenzy. See above. Basketball? Don’t watch–neither March Madness or Bulls. Speaking of bulls, I love to watch bull riding
Thanks to the special man in my life I was introduced to this fantastic sport and now I even watch it when he’s not with me.

Pam, isn’t that how it is with our men? My husband’s responsible for converting me to the White Sox.
And what is baseball??? Oh, the humanity! And Julie, it’s now 12 days to opening day! Almost single digits!!
Took me a minute to figure out what kind of brackets you were referring to. LOL, I guess that says a lot about me and sports. (You’d probably get along great with my hubby!) Actually, I grew up in a football family (dad’s a coach) where I learned early. Dad’s a Packer fan and my hubby is a Vikings fan–it’s a mixed marriage!
