Ah yes, spring: that time of year when it gets warmer just to trick you before dipping below freezing again for a week or two. That time of every year just after the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. That time of year that precedes...baseball!
Ironically, Spring Training starts in the winter; it isn’t technically or officially spring yet until the vernal equinox—one of two points in time in which day and night are equal lengths at the equator—occurs around March 20. But that’s just one definition of spring, and another just as good definition is when you can hear the sweet, sweet sounds of baseballs hitting bats and gloves in complexes in Arizona and Florida.
