Baseball's Groundhog Month

Today may be Groundhog Day but February is Groundhog month as far as baseball is concerned.

Starting around this time of year you can count on 6 weeks of stories concerning Scott Boras talking about mystery teams interested in in remaining free agent clients. Also get used to stories about 10-year MLB veterans talking about coming to camp in the best shape of their lives.

Every single year.

Groundhog month all over again.

Harold Ramis

I grew up on Harold Ramis movies. Was a little too young for Animal House when it came out but later lived the fraternity life. Caddyshack, Stripes and Ghostbusters all bring back fond memories from my youth - and not just of the movies. Groundhog Day is one of my all-time favorites. Because I associated him with my youth I never though of him as getting old - never mind getting sick or dying. He will be and already is missed.

Here are some appreciations or interviews with Ramis worthy of note:

- Harold Ramis did not disappoint in person

- How Harold Ramis' movies stayed funny for decades

- Harold Ramis and Caddyshack

Baseball's Groundhog Month

Today may be Groundhog Day but February is Groundhog month as far as baseball is concerned.

Starting around this time of year you can count on 6 weeks of stories concerning Scott Boras talking about mystery teams interested in in remaining free agent clients. So start getting used to stories about Michael Bourn, Kyle Lohse and Rafael Soriano having interest from un-named teams. Also get used to stories about 10-year MLB veterans talking about coming to camp in the best shape of their lives.

Every single year.

Groundhog month all over again.
