Umpire Harry Wendelstedt, who officiated during 33 seasons in the National League and also trained two generations of umpires at his “Harry Wendelstedt Umpire School”, dies in Florida at the age of 74.

In an eery reminder of last year’s almost fatal spring training accident, the Orioles’ Nolan Reimold is hit in the head by a pitch by Tampa Bay’s Alex Cobb in the 1st inning of a Grapefruit League game. Reimold stays face down on the ground for several minutes before being taken to Peace River Hospital in Port Charlotte, FL. However, preliminary tests reveal no significant injury.
