Why I Love Spring Training

The sweet smell of suntan lotion, hotddogs ,beer and of course sweat. COMBINED!

I was appalled of the lack of catching ability by fans. At the Braves-Mets game, no one caught a foul ball, not one fan catch. How do we expect your team to catch, when you can't catch an easy foul ball with a beer in one hand and a half a hotdog hanging out of your mouth. Pitifully, back to minors all of you.


Baseball God's are Good
Throw back beers- $2 ol'milwaukees, PBr's and such.
It's like the beer gods were making up for charging us $8 for a beer over the past 20 years.

Baseball God's are Bad
My seat, second row behind dugout... No players acknowledge me.. weird huh?
2 hot chicks, park themselves in 1st row in the top of eighth innning. within in 15 seconds, I swear to god in 15 seconds a ball tossed their way, within 5 minutes a player gives them a bat (probably with a phone # on it.)


If you talk with the ushers politely for a while they'll let you sit anywhere you want.
Thanks again Robert, Carl and Jordan for the choice seats.


I'm not really sure, but the foul lines on the field are sort of feeling more and more like a boundary/minefield the players are afraid to cross. Not many this year ventured off the field to greet the fans.
My baseball spirit died a little bit each game.


NY Mets Adam Loewen signed for an hour after the game, not missing anyone.
Keeping my baseball spirit alive.


Best parking deal ever.
Pulled into the church near the Joker Marchant Stadium.
For a donation to their youth baseball league you got a bottle of water, hot dog, prime parking space for the game and to boot they washed your car for you. Best $20 ever spent.
Praise the Lord!


I never know if scalping tickets is legal or not.
But I would hate to get busted buying spring training tickets.


No pepper? Some of us like pepper. Where is the PEPPER????


Love that the stadium has a slip and slide area in the outfield.
Some teen monitoring the "slippery when wet" area said I was to old to participate.
"No love" for this kid at heart.


Girls in bikini tops, polishing toes during the game. Kinda HOT!

Dudes picking their toes during the game. Kinda NOT!


The crack of a bat instantly silences a crowd for a split second.
Listen next time.


An impressive defensive play is always appreciated by both the home and visiting fans.
When a play is good, a play is good.
No Exceptions
