Late January is my personal sports dead zone. There isn’t any baseball, I don’t like basketball, and it’s still a couple of weeks until the Super Bowl (no, the Pro Bowl doesn’t count). Even hockey is on hiatus until the last day of the month because of the NHL All-Star Game. Of course, I do other stuff—I like to consider myself well-rounded—but it’s inevitable that around this time of year, with the cold gray skies and dusted snow of a Pittsburgh winter, that I console myself with the knowledge that spring training is just around the corner.
This week’s Trivia Tuesday looks at the Pirates in spring mode, mostly about their current spring training home in Bradenton, Florida.
