CINCINNATI -- A light snowfall was enough to close schools throughout Greater Cincinnati on Tuesday, and temperatures are expected to nosedive to near zero degrees later in the week. Nevertheless, a sign of spring still sprung from the loading dock inside of Great American Ball Park.
A truck with a 53-foot trailer arrived and backed in, ready to be loaded with all the equipment for Spring Training.
