Spring Training

Rosy,

At this time of the year I am usually getting ready for my trip to Arizona to visit Spring Training. Business keeps me away this year, but I'll be back next year.

Are you headed down there?

Fastball,

I really wanted to try and plan a quick trip for my son and I to see a few games. Unfortnately, it just isn't going to happen. I thought it might be a fun way to unwelcome in a BIG birthday. I know you went last year and come next year I'll be happy to join you.

Heading to Ariz the last week in March. Can't wait to be warm.

Heading down to Georgia on March 3.

Cannot wait!!!

Rosy.....

It's funny that you mentioned "snow." On the news last night, and this morning, the city of Oswego - New York, which is about 80 miles to the east of Rochester, has had 6+ feet of snow this week. They are expecting another 3-4 feet within the next week!!!!!

Even though Rochester is on Lake Ontario, the city seems to be situated similarly like Chicago, in a pocket so to speak, protected from the westerly weather. When we see the lake-effect snow around here, Indiana and Michigan really get hammered. Buffalo gets hammered as well because of how it sits on Lake Erie. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Rochester gets their fair share of snow, but right now they have about 8-10 inches on the ground.

Andy arrives in Orlando at 11:00p.m. on March 9th via a Baltimore connecting flight. The next morning at 8:30, they play their first game against Fairleigh Dickinson at the Disney Complex. They leave from their hotel at 6:30a.m. Then they "lift" at 2:00p.m. at the Disney Complex. Doubleheader starting early again Sunday morning. Day of rest Monday, then their tournament starts on Tuesday.

He wanted to play in college!!!!!! Although I think D1 schools have it tougher, I'm not sure.

I am hoping to be in Vero Beach!

going to see my middle son play in Fla. in March, plan on taking my youngest to see some spring training games while we're there. Not sure who we are going to see, but it is baseball so it doesn't matter.

Looking forward to watching the oldest boy and his teammates play some ball at the MattRuss Greater Phoenix Invitation beginning in 36 days and counting.
