Pitchers and catchers have officially reported. Now, the flurry of tweets and news stories about pitchers and catchers reporting generally only serve as a reminder of how uneventful pitchers and catchers reporting actually is. There's not much more than some footage of players arriving in parking lots at team facilities, and a handful of shots of players stretching on a field where it is much warmer than where you are.
Still, if pitchers and catchers reporting serves any useful purpose, it's that a signal of our national nightmare is over. Baseball really is about to return, if not entirely in earnest, with the commencement of spring training games in a matter of days.
