With New York Mets Spring Training fast approaching, I know that most baseball fans are starting to get goosebumps with all the anticipation for the 2020 baseball season to finally begin. In a couple of weeks, we will be able to enjoy the bright Florida sun from our televisions as we settle in and watch our first spring training action of the new year. That bright Florida sun does warm up our living rooms, even though the temperature outside is still in the 35 to 40-degree range up in the Northeast.
As a lifelong Queens, New York native the start of spring training will always signify to me the gradual progression of winter into spring and the start of the baseball season.
