Good evening, kinda late for me to be posting, but it's been a busy day, one of many that were and many to be. Spring Training games start for real today. Here in Surprise, tickets for the Mariners and Rangers run around $30 except for the two games with the Cubs, they run around $35. Tickets for the Cubs at their field are almost sold out, but the TV sportscaster says there are still a few $50 tickets left for a few games. I was going to run right out and get them but had to stop myself and ask "why?" I've been in Arizona most of the past 65 years and have never gone to a Spring Training game in all that time, so why start now, even if the Cubs won the Worlds Series? We passed a guy standing on the sidewalk outside the field with a mitt on waiting for someone to hit a ball over the fence. Seems like a real waste of time, but to each his own.
