A Spring Training Preview

It’s a mere month and a half until pitchers and catchers report for duty and I’m chomping at the bit in anticipation of Spring Training.  I’ve been attending Spring Traning games and practices since I was a kid and it’s easily my favorite time of year.  There’s a park less than a mile from where [...]

Quality Start: Joe the Plumber, American
