1. I don’t have to bring every baseball t-shirt I own to Phoenix.
2. If you want an autograph at the ballpark, line up an hour before game time next to that team’s dugout. For instance, if it’s Scottsdale Stadium, you wants Giants' autographs, and the game is at 1:05 pm, line up at noon along the 1st base line. Have ball and pen in hand. And know the player’s name; don’t say, “Hey, you, Number 6!”
3. Fans turn out on Monday afternoons if it’s St Patrick’s Day.
4. Diet food at Phoenix Muni consists of a hot dog and nachos.
5. When in Phoenix during spring training, people still can be seen placing bets on basketball. That typifies the saying “March Madness.”
6. Dominoes are better with margaritas.
7. Every team has hope for the year in spring training. Even the Cubs. Even the Giants.
8. An inch on the map in the desert can mean five different highways and the same number of Dairy Queens.
9. People who live in Phoenix think 75 degrees is downright cold.
10. Be prepared to have adventures on the way to Phoenix, not just in Phoenix. I actually found the most interesting and bloggable things before I even got there, e.g., Chiriaco Summit.
