By Kelly: This is one of my favorite weeks of the year in baseball. Over the next 4 days almost the entire baseball world is in Orlando, Florida for the annual Winter Meetings. Each day I will write up a recap so you have an idea of what went on. Monday is usually a slower…

By Kelly: The crowd is loud, the banners fly high in the sky and the smell of bacon is in the air (the night before was the Annual Bacon Friday). Sitting in the right field bleachers near section 149 are some of the most loyal fans you will meet in the game of baseball. It’s…
