Today is February 28. That means it’s the final day of the month, but it also means something more for us avid baseball fans: The game we love is back. The Pittsburgh Pirates face off with the Baltimore Orioles to kickoff the Spring Training schedule, culminating in an April 1 Opening Day game in Chicago against the Cubs.
Spring is always an interesting time in baseball. We get to see players who’ve made changes to their approach in the offseason; we get a chance to see young, up-and-coming players; and, most importantly, we get a chance to see baseball played again.
