It’s that time of year again. Dad and I are gearing up for our annual pilgrimage to Florida for spring training baseball. March is a good month.

For those of you who don’t know, Dad and I go down to Florida every year. We started in 1993 with a group organized by Winning With Encouragement. In 1994, the baseball strike kept us away. In 1995, we returned with another group organized by WWE. Then 1996-1999 I was in college (in Florida, ironically) and unable to get away to see Spring Training games.

We decided to go without WWE (since they don’t do the father/son Spring Training trip any more) in 2000 and in 2001. In 2002, I moved to Atlanta in March, so we didn’t go that year. Since then, we’ve not missed a year. So 2008 will be our 10th trip down there.

So here’s the itinerary for the trip, in case you’re wondering:

3/12 - After work, drive to SC.
3/13 - Drive to Sarasota and see Phillies vs. Reds at 7pm.
3/14 - Braves vs. Phillies in Clearwater at 1pm, then Senators vs. Indians in Winter Haven at 7pm.
3/15 - Yankees vs. Tigers in Lakeland at 1pm. Supper will be at Capogna’s Dugout in Clearwater.
3/16 - Indians vs. Yankees in Tampa at 1pm. Legends Game (retired players, some HOFers, and celebrities play for charity) in Clearwater at 6pm.
3/17 - still planning. Red Sox vs. Yankees in Tampa was sold out, so we’re looking at options.
3/18 - if necessary. Depends on choice for Monday.

Play Ball!
