It’s Tuesday night. The Cardinals are in that awkward phase where there is action but no stats, information but nothing of any real worth. (After all, do you really want me to break down what the Spring Training pitching groups mean for the starting rotation? No, you don’t.) My Viva el Birdos colleagues have already stolen all the good ideas for the week, a fact that I was bemoaning about to my kids.
One of them responded, “you should write about how far a home run would go on Mars!”
I laughed.
Then I started thinking.
