Re: Whos going to Spring Training?

I am going down again for what must be the 10th year in a row (not much of a drive for me, though, as I live in north Florida). This is the 20th anniversary of my first trip to spring training, which happened when I was in college. One day a buddy and I both suggested going there for spring break, shunning Ft. Lauderdale for baseball, and we ended up with a road trip that created memories to last a lifetime.

Anyone have any tips on how to get broken bats? We were at a minor league ST game last year and one of the players gave my son one of his broken bats (that made his trip). I also caught the first MLB foul ball of my life that day.

I am actually considering heading down to Tampa in about 3 weeks for a few days to see my Yankees

Hey BMH when you gonna come see the A's? I'd like to meet ya if you have time

I saw them this morning. Great group of guys; I just wish we had more time to stay there and talk to them but they had a safety meeting at 8:30 so we had to keep moving.

Plus, I leave tonight for Tucson and on Friday I fly out to Florida. I'm skipping the Royals.

I fly into Tampa Friday night and then travel to Orlando Saturday. I think the first team I see in Florida is the Tigers.

Every February, my wife gets tickets to check out the Angels as an anniversary present. We are heading out to Tempe this year on 3/14 to catch the 3/15 game against the D-Backs. This is the seventh year in a row we have done this. Great anniversary gift.

Just got back from St. Pete yesterday. While I didn't get anything, I did get out on the field for BP before the Reds/Rays game and wish I could have come away with this beauty....
