This year's Super Bowl sucks (go Cardinals!), college basketball is still a month away from getting exciting (conference tournaments), and unless you're a fan of a team other than the Celtics, Cavs, Magic, Lakers, or Spurs, these regular season games are starting to lose their luster (can't the playoffs just start already?).
No worries everybody, Spring Training is right around the corner! For those of you who aren't already counting down the days, pitchers and catchers report Feb. 14th and the remaining players report Feb. 17th. While the casual fan twiddles their thumbs waiting for the real games to begin, the knowledgeable fan is paying close attention to young prospects fighting for roster spots, veterans returning from injury, and how those free agent acquisitions will fit in with the club. There will be innumerable articles and primers to read and digest in late February and March, all leading up to the first regular season game to be played on Sunday, April 5th as the Phillies host the Braves.
Mark your calendars, because after all;
"A hot dog at the ballgame beats roast beef at the Ritz." - Humphrey Bogart
