Holliday Celebration for the Cardinals

After seemingly endless negotiations with the biggest bat in free agency, the Cardinals got their man. Matt Holliday is off the market, ladies. Even with hardly any competition, Boras still got his client a 7-year, $120 million dollar contract with an option for an 8th year in 2017. As expected in November, Holliday pulled in the biggest contract of an free agent this winter. With his signing, all of the top tier free agents have signed deals this off-season, and it is time to start gearing up and getting excited for Spring training.

In 38 days o February 12th, the Atlas Van Lines truck will roll away from Fenway to begin it’s long journey down the East coast to the Sunshine State. Even though ‘Truck Day’ can be anti-climactic, it gets the blood pumping and mind racing about a fresh start to 2010. There is unlimited potential at that moment and every fan thinks their team has the personnel to win it all. That moment reminds all of us of summer and all of the happy things associated with ballparks. You can almost smell the Fenway franks and taste the $8 beer in all it’s glory.

Until then, we wait. Longing to hear one of the best phrases in the English language, “Play Ball”.
