Spring training feels economic pinch

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona.: For the first time in years, baseball fan Don Jarvis finds he has an empty seat beside him at Scottsdale Stadium.

His brother Jim did not travel from California for spring training with the rest of the family to cheer on their beloved San Francisco Giants - because of the recession.

"He drives a truck for the San Francisco Chronicle and doesn't know if he is going to have a job," said Jarvis, munching on a hot dog, with a cold beer beside him.
