Plano, Texas - I knew it was time for baseball season around 9:25 p.m. on Friday night when I touched down in Dallas and checked my phone in a panic for March Madness updates.
Kansas, my alma mater, was facing Michigan in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. I was unable to watch it because I booked a flight weeks ago from Kansas City to Dallas to visit my parents and my brother Dave for my late birthday celebration. I was in the air when the nail-biter of a game ended in heartbreaking fashion: KU had a five-point lead with 21 seconds left in regulation and couldn't hold it, eventually falling, 87-85, in overtime.
