The first thing to know about playing baseball in Michigan is, Michigan's really cold.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
So if you want great sports, Michigan's the place to be.
The problem with winter sports is that - follow me closely here - they generally take place in winter.
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.
I just know that I could never spend a winter in Chicago or some place like that. I'm just not a cold weather person.
I'm actually forced to write about Michigan because as a native of that state it's the place I know best.
Michigan is my antidote to Manhattan. This is where I come to relax.
Usually older players, late in the season, start to get cold.
If you go to Minnesota in January, you should know that it's gonna be cold. You don't panic when the thermometer falls below zero.
I think Michigan keeps you sane and on an even keel through the ups and downs. In Michigan, I do fireworks, shovel snow and live life.
You don't think about the cold weather. I'm just going to go out and play ball, do the best I can, and hope the team wins.
