There's only one football game remaining in the NFL season. That means blue skies, green grass, warmer weather and the sound of a bat hitting a baseball are not far off.
The Major League Baseball offseason is nearly complete, with pitchers and catchers for some teams set to report for spring training as early as next week.
Here's a look at some key dates for the upcoming season.
