boys of summer
Seasonal baseball players
Boys of summer refers to baseball players, evoking the sport's traditional season from spring through early fall.
The phrase gained wider currency from Don Henley's 1984 song, where it suggests young men associated with carefree summer days and fleeting romance: I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
More broadly, it describes youth characterized by warmth, vitality, and impermanence.
