Q: Again, we preface with the fact that it is mid-winter. Two professional teams are in the heart of their schedules.

A: At a baseball field.

Q: Thousands upon thousands of New Englanders gather in a mid-sized southwestern Florida city, their dedication and fascination not marred by the fact they are watching grown men stretch out and play catch.
