LAKELAND, Fla. -- The drive from Nashville to Florida usually takes around 10 hours, depending on traffic around Atlanta. For James and Jessica McCann and their infant twin boys, Sunday's journey to Spring Training was a longer trek in every sense.
"A 10-hour drive turned into about 15-16 hours with stopping to feed and get them situated," McCann said, "but they did great."
But it was the happiest, longest drive for the Tigers catcher. Compared with the daily commute he was making to see them every day for most of the offseason, it was easy.
For seven weeks, McCann made the 35-minute drive back and forth from their new home in Nashville, Tenn.
