Pitchers, Catchers, and Salvateenies Report

While Spring Training does not officially start for a few weeks, pitchers and catchers reported to Arizona this week for the symbolic beginning of the baseball season.  And as we enter into ten days of cold, wind, and rain, what better way to escape than to celebrate the glory of America's pastime?

On Monday, as the Giants opened camp, the Salvateenies geared up in their orange and black.

It was also Valentine's Day, so Caroline and Daddy shared a moment or two as she opened her card (the boys let me open their cards for them...they were not as impressed).

On Tuesday, the A's opened camp in Phoenix and the babies got their first opportunity to sport their green and gold.  Sadly, we have not found them any A's hats as of yet, but we're working on it.  We plan to raise them as baseball fans, as you might imagine, and to teach them the value of having TWO home teams in the area (which is, of course, 162 home games per year!)

Of course, should the Giants and A's meet in the World Series again, they may have to choose sides.  But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
