Spring Training Thought for the Day: Cross-Training Can Be Valuable

Spring training is nothing if not grueling. Here Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox wisely prepares for the coming Red Chinese invasion by brushing up on his ping-pong skills in a game against Kevin Youkilis.

Anybody else ready for the games to start?
