Florida Spring Training: Your Guide To Touring The Grapefruit League |
Where are the stats? They’re not in the program. The Cleveland Indians program is a relatively thin book filled with articles, which is good and bad. It has the essential scorecard, but not an explanation of how to keep score. Today, when keeping score at a baseball game is a dying art, this should be included. The good thing about the program is that it focuses on Spring Training. There is plenty of space devoted to the upcoming season, the new manager, new players, and so on. It’s also a program devoted to Winter Haven. Even though the program is printed in Ohio, most of its advertising is devoted to companies and offerings in Winter Haven, always a plus for visitors. In addition, the program is one of the few that offers a section for children. There’s a word search, a crossword puzzle, and a comic strip that reminds me of a Bazooka bubble gum strip, all aimed at the younger fan. There is also a section that will help you find your seats, although it devotes too much space to how to buy tickets. You’ve got to assume if someone has purchased a program, they already have tickets. The program contains the 40-man roster’s mug shots, which can come in handy. A numerical roster is included as an insert. The one glaring omission is statistics. We baseball fans love statistics. We want to see how many stolen bases Omar Visquel took last year and how many home runs and RBIs Victor Martinez has averaged over his career. You won’t find it here. If you’re an Indians fan, the program is a must buy. If you’re not, you can pass. Cost: $5 Didn't find what you were looking for? Try a Google search.
