Are we already 3 days into this?  Wow.  Time flies when you’re having fun.

Today we were in St. Petersburg to watch the Red Sox and the Devil Rays.  It ended in a tie (they play no more than 10 innings in exhibition ball), which was ok with me because 1)it was hot, and 2)the Sox didn’t win.

Red Sox fans are the most obnoxious people on the planet.  Especially that guy with the big logo tattooed onto his back.  (Yes, really.)

It was a fun day.  We saw Don Zimmer, got interviewed (sort of) by the local ESPN radio station because we were 2 Yankee fans watching a Red Sox game.  That was interesting.

This was a new park for us.  We try to add a new stadium each year so we can eventually watch a game in each of them.  This stadium is really pretty, but it’s not the greatest spring park (by far) in the Grapefruit League.  Our seats were about 25 rows up from 1st base.  I imagine you could get better seats if you saw someone other than the Red Sox playing there.  Still, the seats were pretty good…there aren’t really any bad seats at these games.

I’ve got more photos up on Flickr.  Check out the one with the view of the horizon behind the stadium.  It’s pretty awesome.

Tomorrow morning we’re up early and on the road to Lakeland where we’ll watch our beloved Yankees play the Tigers.  It’s going to be a zoo up there.  That is a fairly small stadium and, as you may suspect, the Yankees draw a pretty decent crowd.

Tomorrow night we’re going to be in Clearwater to watch an old timers game.  Players scheduled to be on hand include Wade Boggs, Bob Feller, Jim Palmer, Gary Carter, Ken Griffey Sr., and Goose Gossage.  It’s a charity event to benefit some children’s hospital.  That’s one of the highlights of my year, so there will definitely be some updates posted tomorrow night.
