Since St. Patrick's Day arrives during spring training, most of the ball clubs have started having fun with it and showing their Irish side. During the Red Sox-Orioles game here in Sarasota, the Red Sox still sported red socks, but their jerseys and caps were a dazzling Irish green. (I think that's outfielder Darnell McDonald strolling around centerfield in his best Christmas colors.) The Orioles, on the other hand, were a bit more subtle. The traditional orange oriole on their cap was replaced with a green one. And there was one other quirk at the game that day....
This is the scoreboard after the game concluded. Notice anything unusual? (I bet my blog friend Jim at Terrell Daily Photo has already spotted it.) The game ended in a tie after 10 innings. Major League Baseball games are supposed to continue until one team wins! That's a first for me. Gotta love spring training!

I guess everyone wants to be Irish...at least once each year.
I've not been to a baseball game in years but the last one was a spring training game in Ft. Myers and I think I enjoyed that more than games during the regular season.
I don't understand, though, the interest in St. Patrick's Day. I guess it's just a time when people get permission to be a little crazy (crazier?). :-)
I have been looking forward to your spring training photos. Last year you showed some great action pictures.
I love the green-orange-white!
