Hey Team 👋

It’s officially the sweetest crossover event of the year. While the March Madness field has dwindled to 16, the MLB is just stretching its legs for the 162-game marathon ahead. I caught a glimpse of the action at Spring Training last Sunday, and while the relaxed vibes are great, nothing beats the real thing. Between the high-tension hoops and the return of America’s Pastime, the sports schedule is officially jam-packed. Consider this your permission slip: The weekend starts today. Sorry, I don't make the rules. I just enjoy them.
