LAKELAND, Fla. — Alex Wilson has turned spring training into a grand camping adventure.

Wilson, who rejoined theDetroit Tigers on a minor league contract, is staying in a 42-foot fifth-wheel camper in a parking lot outside of Joker Marchant Stadium.

But I hesitate to use the term camping.

Camping is going Up North to a state park, sleeping in a tent, next to a fire pit, battling mosquitoes and eating roasted marshmallows and s’mores.
