92/366 It's even more garish in person: the Green Monstrosity rising beyond center field at Marlins Park. It allegedly spouts water and has spinning fish whenever a Marlins player hits a home run. The players running offer a perspective on its size. (Taken with instagram)

91/366 It's an annual tradition: the making of the scorebook. Usually done at the neighborhood copy place in St. Louis, but this year created, copied, and bound in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. (Taken with instagram)

89/366 The final weekend of Grapefruit League play arrives and soon this bag of baseballs will be packed for the journey north or abandoned because spring has made them soft and unusable in the regular season. The idea every spring for every team is to have only the balls finish in worse shape than they started. (Taken with instagram)

88/366 Stuffed and happy after the annual meal at the best little restaurant in Palm Beach County — Food Shack. Hidden in the corner of a strip mall (of all places) this little hallway of a restaurant packs the biggest tastes around. There is always a line waiting outside for a reason. That reason? Well, the grouper cheeks on most nights. Aside: it dawns on me now that if I planned ahead I would have taken a pic of a piano for today. Opportunity missed. (Taken with instagram)

85/366 In the small town of Defiance, Mo., there is this marker for the first public school, where students received a "well-rounded educatuion" partially because they participated in spelling bees. Says so right there on the sign. (Taken with instagram)

84/366 While I write for the baseball section — a few thousand words on something that took 67 seconds to happen — the boy wonder gives up on me and just build Legos on his own. Amazing what a 5 year old will do to get attention … Or when not given attention. (Taken with instagram)
