Yankees' Grapefruit games as must-see as spring training can be

TAMPA, Fla. -- Giancarlo Stanton said it best the other day: These six weeks in spring training are about getting ready for the real entertainment -- the 162 games that begin on March 29.

But spring training is entertaining as well! You should go! Take a vacation, quit your job, drop out of school, bring your dog, do whatever it takes. In particular, get down to George Steinbrenner Field. The Yankees have a new manager, a new slugger and some exciting young kids fighting for jobs. Before you start sweating those Gary Sanchez mound visits in the regular season, there is must-see action taking place in Florida as the Yankees kick off their spring schedule Friday against the Tigers.
