I want to start today with a social media post I made exactly 12 years ago today.

“Woke up this morning at 6 AM. Got to McKechnie Field at 7:30 for the first round of cuts from major league camp. Went over to Pirate City around 8:30 to cover the first games in minor league camp and to write two morning articles. After watching two games at the same time, writing one article, and getting a few interviews, I left Pirate City and went back to McKechnie for the final three innings of the major league game.
