fatcat255 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Making my first trip to Spring Training next month. Curious to know if any other SDC members are going this year. Also, open to suggestions from Spring Training veterans on what to see and how to maximize the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 shoelessjoelives, shoelessjoelives, Jr. & your's truly will arrive in Surprise on March 11th and return on the 15th. The only advise I have is to beware of the golf carts in the flow of Surprise traffic & to relax and enjoy the beauty of Baseball :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratface Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I really, really envy you two guys! I have to keep telling myself that jealousy is a bad thing! A spring trip to the Grapefruit or Cactus League would be like a little slice of heaven. One day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something my son and I have talked about since he was 7 or 8 years old, so we're looking forward to the experience. We probably shouldn't be spending the money for this during these economic conditions, but what the heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What better way to spend a little bit of money than a once-in-a-lifetime great experience with your son? Yall will have an unforgettable time.

Ratface -- my first trip was amazing ... better than I expected. I was sure I was going to have fun, but it was "only" Spring Training. Man, was I wrong! :w00t: The best way to explain the experience is that it was like a national convention of TRUE Baseball fans celebrating the game!

fatcat255 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Didn't include in original post; Going to Surprise, AZ. Will stay across from Rangers/Royals complex and hope to see morning workouts, drills, & such. Will branch out from there in afternoon & evening to various games. Main interests this trip will be Rangers, Dodgers & Mariners. Will have all three caps and my Astros cap in tow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope to make it to Arizona or Florida one March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
