Not to be contentious, but Opening Day is my Christmas. The day when you can finally start playing with and enjoying the presents.
Ergo, Spring Training is my Advent. The giant tease where nothing happens.
Extrapolating further, this thread is my Advent Calendar. Behind every perforated cardboard cranny is another piece of nutritionally-suspect "best shape of my life" chocolate. If there are any fewer than 30 of them, I feel gypped.
Yes, it's true: I think too hard about analogies.

I'm personally in the best shape of my life. Instead of going to Raising Canes and Chipotle 3x per week, I've scaled back to 2x.

I'm sad to report that, thanks in part to a fairly new desk job which has absolutely no physical activity (unless you count walking to my car at lunch - which is absolutely exhausting!) - I'm reporting to camp this year in the absolute worst shape in my life.
I've heard whispers that if I don't get it together I'll be demoted to moderating BatsZone.com. Off to the gym it is!

"I tried to play golf, but I found out I wasn't very good." -Joey Votto on his offseason hobby search
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”

My avatar is in the best shape of his life, too. Fortunately, he's just barely well behaved enough that I don't have to be as strong as he is to keep up with him.
