Baseball spring training has concluded and the regular season has begun. Living in Port Charlotte, Fla., I enjoyed four Grapefruit League games featuring the Tampa Bay Rays. From what I saw, they looked good and apparently the professionals agree, too. Chatter I’ve been reading on blogs and reports have the Rays as favorites for going all the way to the World Series (again – they played in 2008). Go Rays! This is my favorite photo from the Tampa Bay Rays spring training season because it encapsulates the fan experience. You can view additional spring training images on my Flickr account.
