Think baseball to ward off winter's chill (Mark Newman, 2/06/07, MLB.com)
It is so cold that the Cardinals' logo is now just a bat, because the birds flew south.Posted by Orrin Judd at February 7, 2007 12:00 AMIt is so cold that Jamie Moyer just stung a batter's hand with a fastball.
A deep mid-winter chill has its grip on much of Major League Baseball fandom right now, forcing school cancellations in Indians and Tigers country and making the average Yankees fan long for a midsummer game against the Red Sox.
It makes you want to find creative ways to warm the body and the spirit at this time of year, and MLB.com is here with nine ways to help. We would list 10 but single digits somehow felt more appropriate...
The cardinals flew south? There are about a dozen in my back yard almost every day.
Hope the Cardinals go south starting in April, though.
