College football is over, the NFL is down to its last game, and I am an IU fan — which means that the college basketball season was over in November this year. And as we near the end of January, and the calendar gets ready to be flipped to February, anticipation builds for the first true sign of Spring:
Pitchers and catchers reporting.
As of this exact moment, and I know this thanks to Chisox.com, there are 26 days, 4 hours, and 20 minutes until pitchers and catchers report. The White Sox first Spring Training game is on March 2 against the Seattle Mariners in their Spring Training home of Glendale, Arizona. The White Sox then play all the way through March until the regular season begins on April 2.
