Welcome to the unofficial Arizona Winter League blog. I am your scribe, Joe Rauschenberger, embedded deep in the offices of Desert Sun Stadium as a media intern for this 2009 season.It's a chilly Monday morning here in the Southwest, but the sun is climbing and baseball players are arriving by the van-full! Close to a 170 ballplayers from half-a-dozen countries and all corners of America came through the offices yesterday. An evening meeting brought everyone together at once for introductions (pictured below), and the mood was set for hardwork.
Stretches began sharply at 8:30am this morning. The ballplayers will have three days to make their impressions on the impressive array of scouts and managers before Wednesday night's player-draft.
I took this last photo as I strolled around the ballfields. Jimmy Tenerovich (Alphareta, GA) takes some time, as I imagine all the young men did, to reflect on the wild and exciting month we all have ahead of us.
Thus...we're here at the end of post numero uno. Stay tuned to this blog, as well as arizonawinterleague.com for information, pictures, and most importantly...BASEBALL! The 2009 professional season starts anew right here in the third installment of the Arizona Winter League!
