Good morning everyone, still a bit chilly here, lows in the 30's, highs still in the 60's for a few more days. Not that we mind, 110+ temps are not that far away.
About Spring Training, I see people standing on the sidewalks around the stadium trying to get a glimpse of them practicing. There are 12 practice fields, 2 smaller infield fields and one game field at Surprise Stadium. Two teams practice there and only a few of the practice field fences are low enough to see anything over. Maybe they don't allow fans in to see them practicing, but there are bleachers set up, so I don't know. I know that they do charge to see the games, between $11 and $73, I think the outfield grass is about $5. Still, I guess the "knothole gang" has the thrill of watching practice for free. Then there's the group with gloves on waiting to catch a fly ball over the fence....
