Baseball Exhibition Game Notes

Yesterday’s (5-4) win by the Detroit Tigers vs the St.Louis Cardinals was the eighth straight home/Lakeland, Florida win for the Tigers.

Two other teams playing very well in the spring exhibition games are the Toronto Blue Jays, who once played at Exhibition Stadium and the Washington Nationals under new manager Dusty Baker.

Last year the Blue Jays were far better than expected and roared to the AL East title and won a round in the baseball tournament.

Conversely, last year the Nationals were a horrible disappointment, although still finishing second. They fired Matt Williams and replaced him with Baker as their manager.
