Saturday, April 3, 1954

The final weekend of spring training is now upon us. MLB owners and the commissioner have approved home and home interleague play for the final two days of spring, allowing fans to see their favorite players one last chance before the start of the regular season next Thursday, while also seeing fan favorites from their rival league.

We also had a first trade of spring - with minor leaguers involved.

More injuries occurred, which are further shaping the opening day rosters for all 16 ballclubs.
