OK, San Francisco Giants fans, get your calendars out.

Spring Training is just about here, and a couple of key dates need to be circled on those calendars pronto.

Pitchers and catchers will hold their first workout on Tuesday, February 10. Then, the first full-squad workout will be held one week from today (February 8) on Sunday, February 15.

This will be the first time that Giants fans also will see manager Tony Vitello handle MLB players.

It's a time for excitement and renewal because baseball is here.
