Spring Training Trip - Day 34


It was a great day to watch a baseball game.  The weather was sunny, 81 degrees and a slight breeze.  The game, however, was not so good.  The Phillies pitchers got off to a bad start and the hitters weren’t hitting.  They lost 10-3 and looked flat in every part of the game.

We arrived early again, getting there around 10:30 am when the gates opened.  It is a good time to arrive as it is not yet crowded and we like to walk around the concourse to observe batting and fielding practice as well as the people who are there to do the same.  Also, three times around the concourse adds up to a mile of walking which gives us a little bit of exercise before the game.  It also allows us to have an early lunch before the lines get too long.  We usually eat at one of the standup tables along the concourse.  The food is good in the park and we are trying something different each day.  Today it was Bratwurst and Italian Sausage sandwiches with hand-squeezed lemonade to drink.  Later in the afternoon it was a beer with peanuts.

Dinner was take-out Greek food with a beautiful sunset in the distance. The Philllies play the Pittsburgh Pirates tomorrow.
