Last Saturday pitchers and catchers reported and today the rest of the Minnesota Twins are down in Fort Myers for Spring Training. If you haven't had a chance to experience spring training I highly recommend it. Imagine going to a relaxing baseball game at Target Field, now imagine adding a vacation and an extra layer of "laid backness". For the younger kids there is plenty of opportunities to meet their favorite players and even get an autograph or two. For the older kids you get a chance to sit in the sun, drink a few beers and know that the summer back in Minnesota is just around the corner. During the course of the regular season negativity begins to creep in when the team is playing bad, during a spring training game they might as well not keep score because the games are really just very professional scrimmages. Most of all though spring training brings out hope. Hope that the Twins will compete again, hope that when you get back to Minnesota all the snow will be gone and hope that life can really be as great as is during spring training in Fort Myers. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
