Spring baseball is a significant perk to living in Florida. We have more teams training here than I could name, but every spring Tampa is home to the New York Yankees. Alex has asked more than once to go to a baseball game, so when Dineen had a chance to get tickets for a Tuesday afternoon game, we grabbed them.

We coudln’t have picked a better day to play hooky. Mild temperatures and clear blue skies graced us. We sat on the lower level, right behind home plate - a few rows up from “Mr. Steinbrenner’s seats” as some other folks, who tried move closer to the field, found out before being gently relocated.

Alex and Nate both had a great time, and I look forward to taking them to more games as they get older. I don’t think it will ever be too hard to get tickets since there were plenty of, um, suppliers in the parking lot before and after the game. So if you live in the Bay area, or have another training facility close by, why not check out a game this month?

Oh, yes… the Yankees beat the Twins 5 - 0.
