The Lunatic Fringe

It’s always the joke at Spring Training, that you never know half the guys names.  That your scorecard will become a scratchpad of substitutions.  That half the guys wear numbers better suited for offensive lineman and wide receivers.

I’ll probably re-use those jokes for strips in the future.

The truth is, this spring is less confusing than most.  The majority of the team is set, and several of the minor leaguers that are here have been here in past years, with a few exceptions.  And while I’m a hardcore fan that usually knows mostly everyone, the folks sitting around me have no idea who a lot of the guys are.

That’s okay.  Andrew Susac?  That name won’t take long to get recognized.
