Bill Veeck once said: “There are only two seasons — winter and baseball.” Baseball ended last week, so we are currently embarking on the long dark of winter. I know. I’m not looking forward to it either.
The good news is that even though we don’t have the exact days until Spring Training will start for the Cubs, based on history and some of the announced days for other teams we appear to be right around 100 days until pitchers and catchers report. In fact, last year Cubs pitchers and catchers reported on February 13. That would be 98 days, even less than 100.
