Florida Spring Training Trip - Day 17

Back to baseball today.  It was sunny, cool, and breezy, so we dressed accordingly.  Our seats on the second level are in an area open both to the parking lot and the field - sort of a wind tunnel effect if the wind is blowing in either of those directions.  The high temperature at the park today was 61 degrees and the wind was probably at least 10-15 mph.  It was fairly warm in the sun but it was pretty cold in our seats.  Nevertheless, we stayed to the end and watched the Phillies win their second game in a row.  They played the Yankees today and won 6-2.   The Phillies break camp in two weeks so it is time for the players to get serious about making the team and getting ready for the season.  With a new manager and coaching staff, veteran players who many say are overpaid and underachieving, new players trying to do well, and a not-so-great spring training record so far, it is going to be an interesting season.

Dinner was in the condo tonight and an early-to-bed is imminent.  The next game is on Sunday so we have two more days to do other things.  It may still be a little cool for the beach so we probably be doing more sightseeing.  We'll decide what to do tomorrow in the morning.

Here a few pictures from the game today:
