Spring Training is Better Than Its Hype!
Posted on by Baseballia
Some trips are fun, but you are glad to be going home. Other trips make you wish you had never left home! But when it comes to our trip for Spring Training in 2017, well, in all honesty we hate to see it end. What a great trip we have had! 

Of course, ultimately, it is about the baseball. We want to see the newly signed talent and gather intel with which to make our own opinions (and that we did by seeing Hammel and Minor pitch, but sadly missed Soler). And though it is only the Cactus League (this year, perhaps the Grapefruit League in ’18!), it is always fun for your team to win. The boys from KC made that happen as wins by the Royals were accented by home runs from Eric Hosmer (414 ft.!) and Lorenzo Cain.



Of course, it was about the baseball. The laid-back vibe is almost palpable, and yet there is an energy that flows through almost everything. It is part excitement, part anticipation, part camaraderie, part…well, it is just hard to describe.
At first, I thought maybe it was just me and my borderline obsession with the game. However, when the regular crowd doubled for the Saturday match against the Giants and the energy seemed to surge proportionally, well, it just seems that Spring Training lives up to its rep.
