Thank you for finding this. Just read it aloud to my husband, whose grandfather was an Irish sports writer in NY. Then shared it with my sibs (we are half Irish) and my baseball-loving j-school roommate.

It is 45 degrees in Erie, Pa. Pouring rain off and on. Yeah, start a garden in a place where lake-effect snow will start next month. Make no mistake: We have dedicated community gardens, dedicated volunteer Master Gardeners, pay-what-you-can farm stands, to promote healthy eating. Winter is coming.
