Well, it's our family's favorite time of year - baseball season begins in 8 days!! Anyone who knows Doug realizes that from the last out of the World Series until the pitchers report for spring training are a dark time in his life - and the rest of ours as well because of that!
For the past couple of years, we have ventured to Arizona to see a few spring training games. This year, we took Matt and our friend Kris and saw two games. Easter Sunday, we got to go to Living Streams church with a neighbor of my mom's - it was an amazing service full of the Glory of the resurrected Lord. Then - it was off the see the Cubs clobber the Padres...too bad for us San Diego fans, but Kris - our favorite Cubs fan - was very happy!
On Monday - we started out at Hohokum Field - the Cubs were playing, and we weren't going to that game, but Kris wanted to get some Cubbie souvenirs. On the way back to the car from the store, we got to see the awesome Clysedale team! The were at the stadium - and we were close enough to practically reach out & pet them. It was very cool.
We then ventured over to Diablo Field in Tempe and watched the Anaheim Angels battle the Padres. Cheering on the Angels - they came back to tie it up in the bottom of the 9th inning. We also found out that during spring training, the maximum number of innings played is 10!
The horses came with two feet of us - weliterally had front row seats!
They are so majestic....
Kris would make a great "Vanna White" for the Clydesdale team
no words for this one - it speaks for itself!
looks like it was fun!!
