Spring begins for different people at different times. Some might go by the calendar, a noticable change in the weather, or even the first sight of blossoming flowers. For me, spring begins on the day that I obtain the Fantasy Baseball Index (FBI here). There is no definitive date that this event occurs on. Oftentimes, it is just an instance of chance- walking past a cluttered newsstand and the bold yellow title catches my eye. Other times, it has been calculated, whether it was an order placed online or a planned trip to the bookstore. All I know is, for me, spring began yesterday, and yes I know its only February.
To me, the Fantasy Baseball Index is the best fantasy baseball magazine out there. I have bought every annual issue that has been published for over a decade, and I even save them, creating a Fantasy Baseball Index library. I believe the first issue I got was 1997 (that is 12 years for those of you counting at home). With the rise of the internet, fantasy magazines are outdated- its information is stale by the time spring training arrives. However, it is my first taste of fantasy for the season and signals that pitchers and catchers reporting is on the horizon. Was it just me, or did it feel a little bit warmer out yesterday...until it snowed this morning. Ok, so maybe it isn't spring yet, but it isn't too far off- I now have the 2009 Fantasy Baseball Index.
