    Well, as official as it gets. Pitchers and Catchers reporting, grass is growing, arms are sore, and millions of baseball fans are eagerly anticipating the new year. When I lived in Boston, the day that the equipment truck loaded up at Fenway and departed for Ft. Myers was a sacred event. In Philly, it was just another reminder of six months of misery.

    The truck will begin to be loaded at 7 a.m. It will leave Fenway at about 12 p.m. on Van Ness Street, which is adjacent to Gate D.

    Sweet! My favorite day of the year. I wear full Met regalia to work, including my Tom Seaver jersey. If you've never been to Spring Training - DO IT!!
    It is the best.

    The dog and I were out back yesterday working on fielding drills. My cursing is, I fear, not in midseason form, but that is easily remedied by driving the wife's truck on the interstate behind one of our near infinite supply of left lane hogs (I can't manage to be grumpy driving the P-car or F-car!).

    Take me out to the ballgame...T

    Quick spring training tidbit. My in-laws (RIP) Bill and Solange retired to Cearwater. We would visit every year during spring training and have a couple of dinners in Clearwater Beach at the Beachcomber where all the Phils older players, coaches and management hung out. Had many drinks with the team members of the late 70's to late 80's, and had a couple with Richie Ashburn, Harry Kalas, and a great player who should be in the HoF but isn't.

    think more about a guy who you always see in Las Vegas selling his signature on a baseball in a photo with you for $ 50.
