It's April 27, and despite the Cubs off day following a frustrating loss, 'tis the season of renewal.
Some Christian holiday relating to this theme recently passed. I don't know. I'm a grad student, so this time of year is always a blur--and holidays don't exist, and neither does spring break, and what have I done with my life? April, on a university calendar, is a time we merely try to survive and see through to the other side. In other words, it's kind of like Jason Heyward's 2016 season.
Ah, but Heyward's April 2017—now this resembles the rebirth myths we so cherish in baseball.
