All this "snow, wind and teens" has me looking south, to Spring Training with the Detroit Tigers in Lakeland, Florida. Head over to Absolute Michigan for a whole lot of preview and if you make the journey to Lakeland, drop me a line or postcard ... or take me along if you are feeling particularly magnanimous!
Speaking of postcards, here's a photo from 1991 of Allan Trammell by James Phelps (available for purchase at JMP Photography).
