Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends but most importantly it is a time to give thanks for all of the blessings we receive on a daily basis. When you sit down with your family and friends today, take a minute to think about what in your life you are thankful for ... and just think it is only 130 days until Opening Day.
From everyone at the CCO ... Happy Thanksgiving
Beyond a Game by Jewel W.
It is a white ball against
a sky so blue it hurts your eyes
It is thick grass, so perfectly green
Day fading into evening
as cheers fade to silence
Soft moonlight on an empty park
Full of promise with morning light
Crack of a bat, the graceful are
flies over a wall
Little white thing, focus of all eyes
It is breathing hard in soft evening air
Running the perfect white line
To reach a base
Unending promise, untapped possibility
Beyond baseball, beyond a game
It is beauty
