Spring Training is my favorite time of year. It’s full of hope, promise, and the knowledge that baseball will be around for another 6 months.

In this frustrating 2016 season, I often find myself looking forward to next spring, and am excited for that feeling of renewal and baseball.

So, in case you want to join me in this fantasy, I’ll present to you a few newspaper articles you can look forward to reading in 2017, when we’re all getting excited for baseball again.
