The smell of the grass. The smack of ball into mitt. The crack of the bat. All signs that the baseball season is near. The 2013 season opens Sunday night when the Texas Rangers travel to Houston to face the now-American League Astros.

Also on the program, VPR's Ross Sneyd provides analysis on the moves made at the State House this week.
