Indians pitchers and catchers officially reported to spring training in Goodyear, Arizona this morning. Here is visual proof that players haven't just reported, they've also gotten dressed and picked up a baseball:

You can tell it's a serious workout, because guys are wearing shorts.
Mark Shapiro chose to taunt snowbound fans with this shot:

Real cool, Mark, real cool.
Pitchers and catchers aren't the only one's who've made it there:

If you're not up on Twitter handles, that's Mike Aviles, Francisco Lindor, and Lonnie Chisenhall. From the looks of it, something pretty exciting happened just before that shot was taken
The team's best player is already in camp, four days before he had to report:

Sadly, not all of his pals have joined him yet:
@JoAnnaLGarcia When are you letting that little guy off the leash so he can come out to Az?!

It looks like he'll be there soon though:
@TheJK_Kid hahah! I'm packing his jammies as I type! #TeamSwish is on the way!

Send him JoAnna, send him!
