Adios Valley of the Sun
Surprise Stadium Scoreboard
Well, all good things must come to an end. We are sitting at the airport awaiting our respective flights to California. Mike and Dave had a great trip to Spring Training once again. Six games in five days. What a trip… and boy are we tired!
In three Dodger games, the boys came through in two games, beating the Brewers on Thursday and the Reds on Sunday. In between we saw the Giants beat the A’s in a Thursday night game. Then on Saturday we watched the Cubs and Padres skate to a 2-2 tie in ten innings. Today we went over to Surprise and saw the Texas Rangers beat the Colorado Rockies 7-6 in an exciting afternoon game (two home runs and a successful suicide squeeze by the Rockies).

We were able to notch three new parks in our belts: Scottsdale, Goodyear and Surprise. Of the three, Scottsdale is definitely the park that comes up a bit short (and that’s not just because that is the home of the Giants!).
Look for our podcast in the next couple days recounting our trip to the Valley of the Sun.
