Although pitchers and catchers won’t officially report to spring training until Feb. 13, the dispatches already coming out of Roger Dean Stadium indicate that some powerful birds of prey have started fighting for supremacy in Jupiter, Fla.
Matt Carpenter noted on Twitter on Friday that a bald eagle swooped down and attacked another eagle right above him and Kolten Wong as they took grounders earlier that morning at the Cardinals’ spring home.
“FYI those things are huge,” Carpenter added in his tweet.
“True story! Those things are a lot bigger than I expected,” Wong replied via his Twitter account.
