Yanks kick off their “home” opener today at 1 PM at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. Game will be televised on Yes, so feel free to use this as the Game Thread if you so choose.
I have been at every spring training home opener since this park (formerly Legend’s Field) opened 23 years ago in 1996. Back then game tickets in lower level were just $10, parking was $5 and beer was (I believe) $3.50. Now game tickets start at $27 (for standing room only) parking is $20 and beer (in a souvenir cup) is $12.
Excited to see this year’s version of the Yanks. At game time it will be sunny and 84 degrees.
Play Ball!
Haha, a view shared by many of us, no doubt.

If you go to a Tampa Yankee A-ball game there's usually only 100-200 people in the stands and you can hear absolutely everything, including the HP umpire talking to the batters.

Nice.
Yup, Boone’s going to be able to give guys days off when called for without taking too much away from the lineup
Glad to see Torres and Andujar in there on day 1
Let’s go Yanks!!

(read nothing into it)
It was a fielding play. The ball was out of reach but he dove for it anyway.

doing it. Slide feet first spikes up and the fielder is in danger. Head first, hands out is asking for injury.

Thanks for telling me adamg. I'm getting my info here, can't watch at work. I was referring to sliding on the bases and thought that's what Rasputin was referring to.
