1.   And so while the Red Sox played spring training games in Sarasota and Tampa, I was at Baseball City Stadium watching Roger pitch for the Yankees.

2.   But spring training sites?

3.   He made four appearances there and went to spring training the next year as a full-time pitcher.

4.   Not having been to spring training for a few years, I recently scanned the roster of camps just to bring myself up to speed.

5.   Spring training, mid-July or the postseason holds little relevance for the nomadic Brown, who will pitch for his fifth team in six years.

6.   That proved to be difficult, because Yaz seemed to come to spring training every year with a new stance or a new way of holding the bat.

7.   The Orioles say they will not field a replacement team when the regular season starts, but will use minor-leaguers during spring training.

8.   This only proved it was still spring training because for really big games Sterling can drag out the vowel for minutes.
