In case you missed it, baseball officially — like, officially officially — returned on Thursday. The Detroit Tigers beat the Florida Southern Mocs for the zillionth year in a row, and did so in tidy fashion, 8-0. Only those situated in Lakeland could actually see the game, but we were afforded a few more snippets than in years past.
It feels good to have you back, baseball.
Things only get better from here. The Tigers kick off their Grapefruit League schedule on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles at Joker Marchant Stadium.
