Yes, today’s the day! At Noon today, pitchers and catchers officially report to start Spring Training.
The Tiger’s first game will be February 26th, at 1:05. The team will play their traditional exhibition against Florida Southern. The New York mets will come to Joker Marchant on the 27th for the first official Spring Training game. You can find Detroit’s full schedule here.
Of course, we have a lot planned for the next month of baseball. In addition to helpful links, and a few stories, we’re lucky to again have the fine photographs from Lakeland resident Roger DeWitt.
Here’s a sample of what you’ll find every Spring Training day at the top of Lakeland Local…
Now, play ball!

Bio: The short line? Father, husband, writer. My online presence is primarily through as the editor, writer, and occasional photographer for the news sites, Lakeland Local, a sampling of the news, concerns, and events for Lakeland, Florida, and Metro i4 News, which covers the Interstate 4 corridor in Central Florida. Both sites feature the work of myself and other contributors. As a hobby, I manage a forum and some web sites that feature a pulp fiction series written by Lester Dent -- Doc Savage Organized, Doc Savage Info, and Flearun.
