Spring Training is kicking into gear ... and it's already getting weird

Baseball is back!

Hopefully they didn't let Mookie Betts anywhere near it.
Over in Lakeland, Fla., the Tigers catchers invented a new way to play catch. Instead of just throwing the ball, you throw the glove too:

The Brewers, meanwhile, are just telling jokes:
