I just returned from the Valley of the Sun where me, my wife and our little guy went to see A's Spring Training. I caught three games while I was down there, including one where I took both my father and my son. What a great experience.
Hope, of course, springs eternal this time of year (pun intended) as everyone is a contender, and we all daydream of our team playing deep into October. So while I am still on my Spring Training high, I thought I would post an interview with our
Newsmakers friend, Cal Ripken Jr. The "Iron Man of Baseball" and current TBS baseball analyst was one of the first guests for the Lesher Speaker series some 6 years ago. Sports Illustrated posted an interview with him earlier today in which he discussed the upcoming season and the importance of Spring Training.
In a few short weeks, it will be time once again to
PLAY BALL!
