It's Spring. It's Baseball.

People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball.
I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.”
—Rogers Hornsby


I've got all my spring training plans all lined up. I will be there from Sunday to Wednesday, leaving Thursday, and have tickets for 5 games. Only two of those games are with the A's. I am actually seeing the Dodgers twice.

The Dodgers finally gave up a rotting Vero Beach complex and moved out west to Phoenix. Their new complex, Camelback Ranch, is being shared with the Chicago White Sox, a wise financial plan. The new complex should be a thrill to see, so I'm really looking forward to it.

And instead of driving for two days, I'm flying this time. Yay.
