We’ll have a double-dose of spring training coverage today. Over on Page 2, I have an ESPN column on uni-notable developments around MLB training camps. Meanwhile, here on the blog, I want to spend some time going over some observations from the first weekend of Grapefruit and Cactus League action, beginning with an . . . → Read More: Monday Morning Uni Watch: The Return of Outmania!

When else can a 10-inning, 5-5 tie feel so satisfying? When it’s the first game of spring training, that’s when.

As I think most of you know, late last year the Indians announced that their Bob Feller memorial patch would look like this. Everyone here seemed to like it (although I thought the Hall of Fame induction date and maybe even the uni number were superfluous). But then in early February it turned . . . → Read More: Helluva Fella, That Feller

That’s one weird-ass mask Carey Price was wearing in yesterday’s NHL Heritage Classic. You can learn more about it here, and you can see lots of Heritage Classic pics — featuring plenty of shots of the Flames’ excellent sleeve and sock stripes — here.
