Sarasota Snowbird
Sarasota FL – The Orioles’ pitchers and catchers took the field last Thursday for the first day of spring training in their new training facilities in Sarasota after spending the pre-season the last 14 years in Fort Lauderdale.
Life has been tough in Maryland for the last several weeks. The temperatures have hovered in the 30s with snow piled up to our waists.
When the going gets tough, the tough go to the first day of spring training workouts at Ed Smith Stadium in sunny Sarasota.
While friends and neighbors shoveled snow, I toughed-out the woes of winter by watching palm trees swaying to a light breeze and listening as the sea gulls volunteered play-by-play commentary with the temperature in the lower 70s.
Baseball has a rich history in Maryland and remains a summertime favorite for many – from all walks of life.
Baseball has always been a favorite topic for many local history writers. And why not – writing about baseball is fun.
It has everything to warm the keyboard of a writer including summertime, arcane statistics, intrigue, colorful events, talent, family, and friends. Articles about sports are fun to read and sports writers are some of my favorite writers.... http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3620
