These past few weeks it has seemed like spring would never arrive, with all of the crazy winter weather we've been experiencing here in Michigan. Winter seemed to stretch out into the future indefinitely with no end in site. Knowing that the Tigers are now in Spring Training and seeing pictures of them working out in warm and sunny Florida is like a shot in the arm. In some crazy way, it's proof that spring will be here eventually. Winter no longer stretches out into the distance - the end is in sight!

Important dates:

First Spring Training game - February 26, an exhibition game against Florida Southern College.

First opportunity to watch the Tigers on TV - March 17 @ Cincinatti, on FSND

First opportunity to hear the Tigers on the radio - February 25 vs Mets on WXYT 1270 and some affiliates
