LOVERRO: Zimmerman’s absence looms large for the next-gen Nats

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — There’s been some changes down here since the last time I was at spring training in 2020.

First, there’s no more dog racing. It’s been banned in Florida, which is pretty remarkable, because there are a lot of things you can do down here that are questionable at best, illegal at worst. Not much is banned, though libraries may soon be on the hit list.

That’s why they have so many billboards for lawyers everywhere. There are more lawyer billboards than convenience stores in Florida. You want to make a law that means something, pass a “Don’t say lawyers” bill.
