In The Zone

|

It seems like just yesterday when the New York Yankees walked away with the World Series title once again, yet ball clubs have already begun to make the trek to the warmer climes of Florida and Arizona for Spring Training.

It is halfway through the indoor season, the Heptagonals are at Harvard in two weeks and the IC4A's and ECAC's are the week after.
