It’s time to dust off your cleets, pull out the Louisville Slugger from the storage locker and pop on the cap of your favorite team. Baseball is in the air! Spring training is just about to start and the grounds crews are raking the dirt, trimming the grass and filling in the base path lines. Oil that glove. The play will be tougher than ever this year.
