"People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." - attributed to Rogers Hornsby. Back in the day there wasn't cable TV, 24-7 news cycles, cameras in everyone's faces. Winter meant no baseball. Zero zip nada. In 1960 at least we had Home Run Derby. We got to see our baseball heroes up close in the California sunshine in glorious black-and-white while we were freezing our butts in living color. Home Run Derby was "must see TV" for this erstwhile ten-year old. Very cool pick-up.
