It's true!. Four weeks from now pitchers and catchers will be reporting to their training camps in Florida and Arizona for the start of baseball's annual spring training. I have to admit I have used the photograph above before, but I am using it again today for a reason. It shows Todd Helton, the player who helped the Colorado Rockies get to their only World Series, walking off the field for the last time on the day he retired, superimposed upon a photograph of opening day ceremonies at Coor's Field, a day when hope springs eternal in the hearts of baseball fans. However, after countless last or next to last place finishes, and with no true desire by management to improve the team and reduce income to the owners, I think fan optimism will be at a minimum this spring. Expect to see Colorado Rockies spring training crowds crying into their beers all through February and March. But let's play ball!
