Spring training baseball is in full swing in Central Florida but in Brevard County the innings are running out for one major league team.

The crack of the bat signals the beginning for the boys of summer, or in this case spring.

But on this cloudy day, it's more than just gray skies looming over the Washington Nationals practice facility.

"They leave fast, so you have to be quick," said fan Jim Feist.

Feist is talking about his urgency in getting autographs before the players head to the showers after the first day of camp. But his words also sum up what he and other fans are feeling about the team's days in Viera being numbered.

Feist lives across the state in Brandon, already a two-hour drive. When the club moves to West Palm Beach, it means twice the distance.

"I don't know if I'll be able to travel that far across Florida," he said.

Other fans like the Jeanette and Barry Hall are from Fredericksburg, Virginia, outside of DC, and Nationals season ticket holders.

The couple began renting a condo in Satellite Beach eight years ago and have been combining their beach and baseball vacation here ever since.

Would they consider driving two extra hours to see their team play Spring Training games?

"I guess we would consider it, but we wouldn't be happy about it," said Jeanette Hall.

Space Coast tourism leaders said Spring Training baseball has between a $5 million to $10 million economic impact on the area each year.

Both the Nationals and Houston Astros are working out a deal in the West Palm Beach area to share a new facility in the next two years.

Just a couple blocks away from Space Coast Stadium sits the new location for Slow and Low Bar-B-Que, only open for three weeks.

They are gearing up for the first Spring Training game on the afternoon of March 5, adding staff and bartenders that day and for the rest of the month. They're expecting hungry and thirsty baseball fans to come.

Owners are hoping to take advantage of the draw the major league team brings -- while they can.

"Absolutely. And hope that someone else will come," said owner Nicole Smith.

But will that be another major league team? For now it's looking like a shutout in the future for the Space Coast.
