You know life is busy when you don’t have time to blog when on vacation.  It’s a busy time for me, but I wanted to recap days 3 and 4 of our Spring Training trip.

On Sunday we saw the Braves play the Tigers.  Batting practice got rained out, but they were able to play the game.  Before the game, I spotted Braves announcer (and HOF pitcher) Don Sutton in the broadcast booth.  The window to the booth was low enough that we were able to go say hi and get a baseball signed.  He was really nice and joked around with us for a few minutes.

The game was a good one.  We were seated in row 3, directly behind the Tigers dugout.  There’s something about those up-close seats that’s hard to describe, but it changes the way you see the game.

On Monday our seats were even better – row 1 on the Yankees dugout.  That was probably a once in a lifetime experience.  Yankees tickets are hard to get, but getting seats on the dugout is just unheard of.  We were even sitting at the place where the guys come off the field and go down into the dugout, so every inning the Yankees walked directly toward us.

Pettitte pitched a great game, and we got to see some amazing defense.  The Yankees looked pretty good in March, so maybe that’ll carry over through October.

I’ve got pictures from the trip on my Flickr account.  I’m no photographer, but there are some pretty cool pictures in there.
