It's been a while, but here's Mrs. Orel with a travelogue:
For Dodger fans, spring signifies trips to Camelback Ranch, Opening Day at Dodger Stadium and renewed hope for a winning season.
For east coast baseball fans, spring signifies wearing shorts, greenery, and a renewed hope for warmth.
After back-to-back brutal winters, New Yorkers and Bostonians are reveling in lighter clothing, sun-kissed cheeks, and the parks, the parks, the parks, where balls are tossed, hit, and caught in freshly unearthed gloves.
Orel and I were in Manhattan, where we observed New Yorkers bouncing around city streets like released prisoners.
