Pitchers and catchers will report on February 19, 2012. Although, the Mariners and A's will get to report a week earlier, February 12, 2012. When pitchers and catchers report and spring training begins for teams, there should be a national holiday. There is nothing more exciting than the beginning of a new season.
A team like the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox have their sights set on making it to the World Series and winning it this year. Title aspirations are everywhere and you hope that your team is the one to make it there. On the contrary, for teams that are not going to be in the World Series, don't worry. There is something for everyone when spring training comes around. For example, the chances of the Royals making a serious push for the title are slim, possible, but slim. But all hope is not lost as you can see your future stars mature and get better every time that they play.
People may say that baseball isn't our national pastime anymore, but there is hope every time spring training comes around. No matter who you root for, there is something to look forward to and that's what makes baseball great.
