Baseball Players Hibernation

As spring training begins, players emerge from their caves like creatures ending hibernation—while one bear watches. Gently absurd and beautifully observed, this cartoon is a perfect pick for baseball fans and anyone who appreciates humor rooted in seasonal ritual and human habit.
