No, it's not the holidays, but for baseball fans it's the next best thing. Actual live baseball is being played in the United States.Spring games began yesterday as several teams and players look for new beginnings in 2009. Here are the Top 5 storylines to watch in spring training:
- Manny Ramirez is still unsigned - He's destined for Dodger blue eventually and LA is likely bidding against themselves. Honestly, I don't know what it will take to sign Manny but expect him in LA when the season starts.
- World Baseball Classic Part II - The second installment of baseball's World Cup takes place this spring takes place this year. Do the Americans, the same people who invented the game, have what it takes to win?
- Steroid Watch - Only Alex Rodriguez's name has been leaked of the 100+ players that tested positive back in 2003, will someone else's name come out before April 1? How will Barry Bonds' trial go? Will Roger Clemens be indicted for perjury?
- How will the recession affect MLB? - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell took a 20% paycut and the NBA is going to borrow money to help teams out. Will Bud Selig follow Goodell's lead?
- So Nice, they Built it Twice - Both New York teams have new stadiums this season and there is a big controversy, amongst bloggers, regarding how much the teams are charging for tickets and how the reassignment process has gone so far. Will sour fans leave empty seats in April?
