I have to say that every dad should really take their kid to Spring Training (provided of course that they are baseball fans). It really is that great of a father-son bonding experience. The Little Man is having the time of his life and I gotta say, I am too.
Not to mention, I frankly think Spring Training ball is more fun than the regular season: the park is small and intimate and the players are very accessible. The Little Man got two autographs today, including one from A's reliever Huston Street, who is one of the coolest dudes ever. He was out there for at least an hour signing away. The Little Boy was super cute (I will post pictures tomorrow) and I nearly thought his heart was going to stop when he met a real life major leaguer. He was so stoked we got to the stadium THREE HOURS EARLY but I have to say that the time really flew by and it was probably worth it (although we will take our time getting to the Park tomorrow). What else to say? Phoenix has killer weather - it was probably upwards of 80 for a mjaority of the day -- but after five hours in the sun I was starting to wilt. After the game twe came back to the hotel and ran on adjacent treadmills; the wife would have had a coronary if she sawe thi sone. That said, this trip is all about breaking the rules -- for 48 hours, that is.
More after tomorrow's festivities.
