Sports Widow Reviews MLB Spring Training…

We just got back from Tucson, AZ where we celebrated my mom’s Birthday with a family reunion. It was wonderfully sunny and warm…a great break from the overcast drizzly Seattle skies.
Believe it or not, one of the highlights of the trip was our trek to Mesa, AZ to see the Chicago Cubs play the Kansas City Royals in a MLB Cactus League exhibition game.
My mom, nephew and sister-in-law are True-Blue Cubs fans and the rest of us got into the game because of their enthusiasm. It was a real “hoot” to be able to see Lou Piniella kick dirt and get up close to the players in the no-frills, no-skybox, old-fashion Hokokam ball field. You can enjoy the game and people watch while picnicking on the grass in the outfield. And you can get in-and-out of the game without dropping $200 for a couple of hotdogs, Cokes and peanuts. Stadium parking was only $5. And best of all, the Cubs beat the Royals in the last inning: 5 to 4.
Opening day of the 2008 Season is only a week away…about the time that NCAA March Madness is ending. Play ball! Go Cubs!
