We took a quick little family road trip to Arizona to experience baseball Spring Training. It was a blast! We went to the Dodger's stadium and then the next day to the A's. The Dodgers stuff is more of a production, but still fun. Scott got Tommy Lasorda's autograph and Troy and Kam caught major league foul balls. At the game later, Scott and the kids talked to Steve Vogt, who is becoming quite a celebrity. The next day we enjoyed wandering around the A's minor league players practice facility. Troy just stood by the entrance and asked whoever walked by for an autograph. (In one case he had to hold the player's cleats!) Troy caught more foul balls and watched lots of batting practice. It was amazing how many guys are out there. You just wonder who's going to make it on to the big leagues. We enjoyed a second A's game where they beat up on the Padres. Kamryn ended up winning the throwing contest for her age group. Her name was shown on the jumbo-tron. (Last initial only, she said for privacy reasons!) Unfortunately Scott misplaced his wallet that day too, but all is good as a grounds crew person picked it up and called us at home. A friend who was still down there was able to bring it home for us. Yay!!
