Aside from the obvious enjoyment derived out of visiting new places and watching baseball with good company during my recent Florida excursion, there were two moments that stood out a little bit higher than everything else. Or more specifically, two baseball players, who took my light-hearted ribbing and ran with it, much to the enjoyment of myself and everyone around me.
One of the biggest appeals of Spring Training baseball is that it’s supposed to be a relaxed environment for all parties, but mostly the players, so they can ease their bodies back into playing shape, chip off some of the rust that built up over the long winter, and get used to the motions of playing baseball on a regular basis again. The results of spring games do not matter, and it’s more important that they go through the reps and fortify the physical motions to make sure that everything’s working right.
