One of my favorite features last season was when MLB Network launched was the “30 Clubs in 30 Days” show that visited every single baseball team during Spring Training. I totally ate this up and I’ll do so again this year. This is the schedule for this season. Friend of Fang’s Bites Trenni Kusnierek will be traveling quite a bit and again will be heavily featured during the series.
