Reminiscing about baseball

It’s February. Professional baseball players are reporting for spring training in the various training facilities in Arizona and Florida where the fields are clear of snow and the grass green. It has been several years since I have gone to Arizona to photograph spring training and maybe catch a couple of games in the Arizona Cactus League.

Here in the Midwest, the ballparks are thawing, and it will not belong before teams are in the dugouts and fans are in the stands. Opening day for baseball is about six weeks away.

A jewel of a find in video

Every now and then, I run across something that just has to be shared, and this video is one of them. A friend, Steve Williams, who publishes Scooter in the Sticks, found this video. It is a three-minute film, purported to be a true story. It is also a commercial, but you don’t really know that until the end of the film. Produced in Taiwan, it has (poor) English subtitles, but frankly, you don’t even need to read. The story is pretty self explanatory.

I have watched this numerous times, and every time I get a little misty-eyed. Here it is:

Let me know what you think.

See you on the highway.

Trovillo-Road-1
Trovillo Road

Trovillo Road is more like the size of a wide driveway. It winds up the side of the hillside along a fast falling creek that empties into the Little Miami River.

The township has put down a hard surface, but it seems years ago with the potholes and patches along its route. It serves a few homes at the top of the hill before it connects with a more traveled road.

The first time I traveled Trovillo, I was with a group of motorcyclists out for a breakfast ride. The leader took us up this road, he said, for me. He wanted me to have some “dual sport” road to ride on. I think the Harley riders were complaining about his choice.

I was happy to find the jewel.
