Today is the day pitchers and catchers report to spring training camps in Arizona and Florida. Baseball is back at last! I took the photograph above during spring training back in 1996 at Municipal Stadium in West Palm Beach, Florida. That was the spring training home of both the Montreal Expos and Atlanta Braves. A few years later, that facility was torn down, replaced by Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida, which now is the home of the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals during the spring. And just a few years ago, West Palm Beach finally built a new spring training facility that now hosts the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros. Let the spring games begin!
