Welcome to Boys of Spring and Sheridan’s Blog. The statements, views, and opinions reflected on this website are my own, and do not reflect the opinions of the Chicago Cubs or Major League Baseball. Spring training 2023 is the 19th year Boys of Spring offers Cubs fans a multi-media inside look at Chicago Cubs spring training. Tim Sheridan, a Cubs fanatic who also happens to be the spring training public address announcer at Sloan Park is your tour guide.
2023 will mark the 40th consecutive year Tim welcomes Cubs fans to sunny Mesa from his P.A. mic. Tim’s longevity behind the mic seems all the more remarkable given that he claims to be only 48 years old. Regardless of his age, Tim considers the six to eight weeks the Cubs spend in Mesa each February and March to be his spring break. Many spring breakers spend their time hanging out, soaking up rays and drinking beer. Not Tim, he’s hard at work for Cubs fans!
Nineteen years ago Tim created this website to give Cubs fans a first look at their “Boys of Spring” as they prepare for the regular season. Here at Sheridan’s Blog you will find unique photos, videos, and game rundowns, as well as reports and observations on your Cubs from Sloan Park. Sheridan’s Blog is also one of Tim’s creative outlets, so you may run into just about anything here ranging from music videos, to quotes from Bill James or Walter Sobchak, to a photo of one of Arizona’s brilliant sunsets. Cubs spring training is a world unto itself and no one covers it better, or more colorfully. So if you are stuck in the Midwest this winter and can’t make it to the Cactus League, stop by Sheridan’s Blog to cure that seasonal affective disorder with a dose of sun, fun, and Cubs baseball.
Be sure to follow Tim on Twitter or Facebook for the latest first hand info on the Cubs this spring. This is going to a spring to remember, so don’t miss a minute of the action!
