Sights of Toronto Blue Jays Spring Training

The Toronto Blue Jays pitchers and catchers reported for Spring Training on Sunday at the Blue Jays’ facility in Dunedin, Florida–becoming one of the final teams in MLB to commence the road to the 2014 season.

Various outlets including @BlueJays twitter and Sportsnet reporter @BarryDavis tweeted out pics of various players getting back into baseball form beginning with long toss and side sessions. A welcomed sight for many baseball fans, especially those in Canada, as the snow is just about to melt off the ground and Spring is right around the corner.
