BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) - Many Major League Baseball teams at spring training followed their annual tradition of wearing green jerseys and hats at spring training for St. Patrick's Day.
Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh were among the teams wearing green jerseys, and Baltimore used green bases with white shamrocks.
