Reporting for Duty

February 18, 2010January 29, 2023 Ian Hunter pitchers and catchers report, Spring Training

There’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh cut grass early in the morning.
The sound of a catcher’s mitt snapping, or the echo of a batting practice fastball sailing over the outfield fence.
The warm Florida breeze.
The sight of palm trees just beyond the ballpark.

After a long, cold winter, Spring Training has arrived … and not a moment too soon.

Ian Hunter

Ian has been writing about the Toronto Blue Jays since 2007. He enjoyed the tail-end of the Roy Halladay era and vividly remembers the Alex Rodriguez "mine" incident. He'll also retell the story of Game 5 of the 2015 ALDS to his kids for the next 20 years.

There's something about seeing the Spring Training workout photos that really gets me back in the baseball spirit. More to come!
