Today is the first official day of Spring Training. This morning, pitchers and catchers reported to Fort Myers, Clearwater, Dunedin, and bunch of other semi-dinky suburban Florida towns for workouts, physicals and, we assume, jocularity.
Nothing gets the blood flowing quite like watching ball players put on official Spring Training uniforms (yours for only $99.99 at MLB.com) and official Spring Training ball caps (yours for only $26.99 at MLB.com), and run official Spring Training wind sprints (not available online) at full jogging speed - wouldn't want to pull anything *!coughMATSUZAKAcough!*. Its a sight to behold.
Its cloudy and 30 degrees in Philadelphia. The wind cuts through your jacket, and throws bits of snow from the several feet on the ground into your eyes. The clouds are coming in, and as usual, people are talking Eagles football. It picks me up to know somewhere its warm, somewhere the sun is shining, somewhere there is a breeze, and somewhere two guys are having a catch.
Baseball is coming, officially now, and it can't get here soon enough.
