    I have seen many baseball venues — larger-than-life professional ball fields to stunning Little League complexes. I once waved a Homer Hankie in the Metrodome.

    When I think about springtime in the Northeast, a lot of memories and sensations come to mind. The smells of rain and freshly cut grass.
