With a major winter storm streaking up the Eastern seaboard, summer seems like a warm, pleasant dream of some far away place. But today I was nicely reminded that at least spring, the precursor to summer, is just around the corner (albeit a long lengthy one). Spring training is set to start February 14 when the pitchers and catchers of eight major league baseball teams report to camp. The remainder of the pitchers and catchers will report to their respective camps by February 18, one day before the position players of seven teams report. Games are set to begin on February 26 when four major league teams take on US college teams. By the end of that week, the spring training season will be in full swing. Three short weeks after that, spring officially begins and three months after that, we will be into the heat of summer and talk of the pennant races.
