Atlanta, GA - Associated Press

The world's most famous poetry-writing forecaster did not see his shadow Thursday evening in Atlanta, leading to an untimely loss by Duke in the Regional Semifinal game. According to tradition and folklore, this means that baseball season is officially upon us.

The prediction drew cheers from the devoted members of the Los Angeles County Bowling League, gathered in the Georgia Dome to witness the annual prediction.

Joe Sonka, a league member and longtime baseball enthusiast, was especially pleased with the beginning of the baseball season. When asked why he is so fond of the sport, Sonka exclaimed, "Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax."

The beginning of baseball season can only mean one thing...draft day rapidly approaches!
