Live blog: Bring on the Yankees
Beautiful, beautiful day at Legends Field, with what I like to call thermostat weather: Set it to this every day, I'll never complain. It's about 35 minutes until the first pitch as USF takes on the Yankees in a spring training exhibition.
The Yankees have a $288-million payroll. The Bulls? Maybe half a million in scholarship packages and coaches. The Yankees have more retired jerseys than anybody in any sport. The Bulls have ... Scott Hemond and coach Robin Roberts. The Bulls have zero World Series rings since 2000. The Yankees ...
Big day for the Bulls spring sports, as baseball gets a shot at the Yankees and softball tries to upset powerhouse Arizona on its home field at 6 p.m. ET. We'll have lots more from Legends Field, where closer Shawn Sanford is expected to get the starting nod for the Bulls, and yes, the Herd of Thunder is here. What says baseball more than a marching band ... in khakis?
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
Nice World Series jab.
