Tomorrow is U.S. Opening Day for the 2012 MLB season. With that in mind, here are some glimpses of our recent Florida Grapefruit League visit.
By the way, a warning to all the delusional or dishonest liberals that oppose photo identification for voting: Don't ever try to go to Spring Training. To get on a plane, you need to show your driver's license or other acceptable photo ID. To check in to your motel, you need to show ID. To buy tickets at the box office with a credit card, you need to show ID. And to buy a beer at the park, yes, you need to show ID. Get the picture?
Washington Nationals' phenom Stephen Strasburg deals against the Atlanta Braves at Disney:
Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers, the 2011 American League MVP and Cy Young Award winner, pitches against the Orioles at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland.
Phillies ace Cliff Lee runs to the dugout after the inning ends at McKechnie Field in Bradenton. Lee was the losing the pitcher in the game against the Pirates by a score of 3-2.
The Boston Red Sox wore green to commemorate St. Patrick's Day in the their March 17 game against the Baltimore Orioles at Ed Smith in Sarasota. Daniel Nava shown here blasted a grand slam home run on the first pitch of his Major League debut in 2010--only the second player in MLB history to do so. The split-squad game ended in a 3-3 tie.
