I’ve been a baseball fan for more than a half-century, and there’s nothing like the hope that springs forth when your favorite team starts playing games in either the Grapefruit League or Cactus League. I was going to use the word “meaningless” to describe “games” because as we all know, these games mean nothing in terms of standings or where your team will end up in the regular season.
But can you actually glean anything meaningful from spring training games? I’m not about to make that argument, but it can be fun to watch someone morph into Babe Ruth for a few weeks in the sun.
