about that snowdrop

It was frigid last night and I woke this morning thinking about that snowdrop sighted on Saturday. It's now under nine inches of snow but will doubtless be ready to bloom once the snow is gone. If I had spent last night outside, I'd be 'late'. The hardiness of plants never ceases to amaze.

The IronPigs put their single game tickets on sale last Friday and sold just short of 10,000. That was up from the 9,000 sold last year on the same day. It's still a good value. Club level seats (sold out) are the most expensive, at $14. Field level seats are $9. General admission is $6. Last year's team was awful but the club had a stellar debut season. If they top it this year, they should start minting 'piggies' for circulation.

Adam Eaton signed a minor league contract with the Orioles. Go for it, Adam.
