Spring Training Flashback: 1980s
As camps open across Florida and Arizona, I'll begin looking back at some of my memories spanning nearly 40 years of Spring Training.
Above: the Mets take batting practice before a 1985 Grapefruit League game against the Phillies at Jack Russell Stadium in Clearwater. Darryl Strawberry waits his turn to hit.
Then it's pitcher Joe Sambito just outside the cage.
Below: before they were "media credentials," a couple of press passes from the more informal access I obtained back in the 1980s.
