75/366 At a small, almost rustic suburban rink outside of Tampa, Fla., in Brandon, Blues goalie Brian Elliott remains after a team skate for some individual work. I'm back on ice, eight years after leaving the Blues beat and more than two years since I covered my last game. This place hasn't changed much. I should have brought a pullover.

70/366 Early sun hits a new addition at Roger Dean Stadium — the garish disco-ball outline for the Cardinals' logo. We thought it might be to signify the World Series, but later saw the Marlins' logo has the same outline. Disco-ball maybe on of their new colors. (Taken with instagram)

69/366 View from the press box at Minnesota's Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers, Fla., where Adam Wainwright returned to the mound after more than 530 days away and hours later I was locked in, climbing the fence my only means of escape. Note: That is Cardinals lefty Sam Freeman on the mound. (Taken with instagram)

68/366 Tools of the trade. A pair of Sox media guides, including the 100-year celebration of Fenway Park edition from Boston, and some cards and a pen. Lots of thinking to do and then writing. (Taken with instagram)
