Today in Baseball History:
- 1946 - Back from the military, Ted Williams hits the first spring training pitch he sees for a home run.
- 1973 - Players and owners come to terms on a three-year collective bargaining agreement. The new deal allows teams to open spring training on March 1st. Among the provisions of the agreement are a $15,000 minimum salary, salary arbitration, and the “ten and five” trade rule, which permits a player with ten years in the major leagues, the last five of which are with his current team, to veto any trade involving him.

- Condolences to all who knew Rodney...
Absolutely heartbroken to learn of the passing of dear longtime Warriors and A’s usher, Rodney. One of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet and made everyone’s days brighter at the games just by doing his job with a smile and genuine care. He will be dearly missed. pic.twitter.com/lgRb5sHask
