Back in the Spring, I see Clydesdale’s lined up outside the training facility in Peoria, marking my first spring training game.

It’s a time of hope and possibilities. A dream that perhaps we can get back to the playoffs like in 2023, and not burn out and lose all hope in the last baseball series of the season.

But alas, it was a season full of injuries and some sad disappoints, even though there were a few bright spots along the way, like Star Wars night and some great final inning wins.

Sadly though, we ended up coming just short of making the playoffs for the second year in a row.
