A Day in the Life

I asked Neiko Johnson to describe a typical day at Extended Spring Training. This is what he had to say ~

Well Extended Spring Training is basically Spring Training all over again but for a little while longer. We do the same thing we did in Spring Training and play games also. Some days will consist of split squad games and some days it will be only one team. A typical day consists of early work in the morning, then we start practice and batting practice after that, then we go in for lunch, and come back out for the game which most days start at 1:00 p.m. We stay in the same hotel as we did for Spring Training and it's the same routine for the next two months. Not much is different in Extended Spring Training but there aren't as many people and it's mostly Latin players. With the free time we do have we usually try to go eat, or the mall, or hang out around the hotel ... sometimes playing cards, video games, or watching movies. We just try to find a way to have fun no matter what. Having great teammates and friends around makes it a lot better every day.
