It’s Spring Training time, and for the next two months, fans of the Yankees, Blue Jays, Orioles and other Grapefruit league teams get to experience a slightly more relaxed brand of baseball before the regular season starts.
Florida Matters takes you on a tour of Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, the Spring Training base for the Baltimore Orioles. The team's Senior VP of Communications, Jennifer Grondahl, explains some of the traditions the Orioles bring to the Tampa Bay region, including their newest mascot, Mr. Splash. You'll also meet a trio of siblings reconnecting at Spring Training over their love of baseball.
