UNIVERSITY PARK — Last year is behind the State College Spikes.

Spikes player Matt Payne talks with a television station during the team’s media day at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on Thursday, June 18, 2009.

Or is it really? Because 11 players wearing Spikes uniforms provide a baseball player’s glow — one that’s hidden to prevent giddiness, but exists internally — when somebody mentions 2008.

The quickest way to put a 18-56 in the trash runs through the bodies, minds, and perhaps most importantly, the arms of current Spikes making the jump from Bradenton of the Gulf Coast League.
