I miss baseball.
--
That is usually where that message ends.
On this night every year, I use this space to lament the end of the season, because there are too many months between now and when pitchers and catchers report.
But, let it be said, the Brewers just played a postseason of some of the best baseball I've ever watched. But because it's now done and 2027 is a stomach-turning question mark...I'll say it again with the hope I get to say it this time next year:
I miss baseball.

As a lifelong Cardinals fan who grew up in Springfield, I 100% love the inclusion of the Ozarks in the name. But because I was raised to be polite, that's all I have to say.
Actually, I have a 5,000-word essay more than that, but my guess is the rest of the internet will say all of that for me.
Put another way: calling the club the Ozarks Cardinals or Ozarks Redbirds and giving them a non-AI graphic designer woulda been better than Chat GPT's top choice for a name and stock fantasy baseball logo. Mercy. What's happening, y'all?
The Springfield Cardinals are now the Ozarks Springbirds. Introducing our new logos and colors.

Something I wish someone had told me when I was this kid's age: it's a good thing to cry when you're happy. You're going to have a bucket of bad tears at the end of your life. If you have a deeper bucket of happy tears, you've lived pretty well.
