People will come, Ray.

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball.

America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It’s been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time.

Yahoooooooo...Pitchers and Catchers are reporting. Spring Training games are days away.
