WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — On Feb. 11, prospective crooners lined up at the Palm Beach Outlets for national anthem auditions. Baseball, specifically, Washington Nationals baseball, is close to starting in its new spring training home at The Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Florida. Singers and everyone else needed to become ready.
Nationals pitchers and catchers report Tuesday. By the end of the week, the whole squad is expected in its new digs, leaving behind Space Coast Stadium in Viera, Florida.
Washington is only mildly altered a season after again failing in the first round of the playoffs.
