Spring Training Day 1

Up at a little after 4 a.m., I caught a 7 a.m. flight to Phoenix. John Wallen picked me up at the curb at the airport and by 10 a.m. we were sitting at the hotel pool drinking a beer.

We had tickets to see the Oakland A's play the Chicago Cubs at Phoenix Muncipal Stadium.



Kerry Woods pitched six and a third innings and the Cubs won 2 to 1.

After the game, we headed back to hotel and hung out around the pool to cool down. We had dinner in downtown Tempe at Ruby Tuesday's. I fell asleep on the bed watching the NCAA playoffs.
