32 days ’til Opening Day: Spring Training games start

There are 32 days left until that best day of the year, MLB’s Opening Day.

Today is the first full day of spring training games. While I’m not a huge fan of spring training games it’s good to know that they are happening.

One tradition I do like that MLB teams do is play a college team occasionally to start off spring training. Yesterday, the Braves played Georgia, the Cardinals played St. Louis University and the Pirates played Manatee Community College (all three MLB clubs won obviously, not that it matters if they lost). Today, the Red Sox face Boston College and Northeastern, the Nationals face George Washington.

Spring Training games mean that Opening Day is almost here. Just 32 more days people.
