Today’s post is brought to you from Toledo, Ohio. With Spring Training wrapping up in just over a week, every team has reason to be hopeful that this will be their year. Though it is widely accepted that exhibition games are meaningless, the Giants should feel good about their 18-7 record this spring, and the Indians are certainly pleased that they have won 13 of their first 19 games. The reigning World Series champion Yankees, meanwhile, can shake off their 9-12 record as rustiness. It may not have the excitement of October, but April is when everyone’s glass is half full; no one has ground to make up or nagging injuries to play through. Every team has a share of first place, and that’s what makes it the most promising time of the year.
