Catcher learning from mistakes during debut year in Brewers organization

PHOENIX -- Jacob Nottingham says his debut season in the Brewers' organization was about learning lessons, but here's one the catching prospect almost forgot.

When he arrived in camp last week, Nottingham parked in the same spot he occupied last March 12, the day he blasted a long batting practice home run that shattered the rear window of his own car. Nottingham's Twitter post that afternoon caught the eye of an auto glass repair company, which sent a crew to Maryvale Baseball Park several days later to make a complementary fix.

Why risk another smash?
