People: Know that baseball is coming back soon, so let this knowledge sustain you through foulest February. To give you a wholesome, restorative taste of what's to come, here's Giants catcher Buster Posey demonstrating mastery of his chosen craft in aesthetically pleasing slow motion ...

I'm no hitting coach, but that's rather very lovely. Momentum toward the ball, back arm tucked, hands and elbows above the ball at contact, smooth bat path, high finish ... It's little wonder that Mr. Posey is very skilled at hitting cowhide orbs with wooden implements. 

The point, good people, is this: Baseball is coming back to us.
