I hope you all enjoyed the “Preview Articles” this month. I have had a blast writing them, and have learned some important things along the way. I will be back in March of 2016 to do these all over again with a new and improved layout. If you take anything away from these articles, take the “beauties” of the game. They are scattered throughout the articles and will show the important little things in the game. Enjoy the 2015 baseball season and GO CUBS GO!
