Baseball is back! Spring Training set to kick off for Pirates

Spring Training is always an exciting time for baseball fans as it signals the start of a new season and the return of America’s pastime. With the chill of winter slowly starting to fade, Spring Training is the perfect time to escape from the cold and enjoy a few weeks of warm weather and have impressed upon us the newly dirt clad cleats and a preview of what’s to come.

I’ve never been to a Spring Training myself. In fact, I’ve only been to Florida once (Destin), and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. But of course, the prospect of a week in Bradenton is alluring.
