triple play

PostMuse sent this card, an illustration (looks like a New Yorker cover to me) by Bruce McCall called Triple Play. She wrote that she is not really a baseball fan but thinking about baseball at this time of the year reminds her that spring will come, that winter will not last forever. The card arrived just before the weekend and it, plus a glimpse on TV of Catfish Hunter, prompted me to get out a CD of baseball songs. One of the best, sexiest, and saddest ever has got to be Bob Dylan's eponymous tribute to that pitcher.
