Spring Training Pics 2008

They did last week, not real sure about Today (2/24/08), but I would guess they did.

I heard Jim Leyland is a church-goer, along with Sheffie.

Several players are Christians and normally they have church services together at the field. During the season I know they have chaplins for the teams (probably do for spring training too). The players that are Catholic have been known to go to Sat or Sun evening services. Other players may go to Sunday PM services also.

That would be fun to be a team chaplain!

Yep. I learned that on a video I have on Christian ball players giving their salvation experiences and what it is like to be a Christian athlete.

wonder if they need a church organist? (ME! ME!)

well, sounds good to me. Lets both get jobs with the Tigers, I'll be Psych coach and you be chapel organist.
