For those of you that woke up to the blizzard that's been blanketing a good chunk of the country in snow or sleet, take some inspiration from Dock Ellis and Willie Randolph. While you decide whether or not it's finally time to shovel your way out or burrow deeper into the blanket fort you've constructed, remember: Snow can be fun, too.
As Randolph explains in the clip below, he and Ellis were in New York to sign contracts with the Yankees after being traded from the Pirates during the 1975-76 offseason, and he remembers the parking lot snowballs "very vividly."
You don't forget that kind of fun.
