Baseball today. The front moved through: the rain stopped, the skies cleared, it cooled off and the winds picked up.
The Phillies played the Houston Astros today. It was also Phillies Alumni Day. The Phillies invited a number of former Phillies players to attend the game, mingle with the crowd, sign autographs and be recognized on the field before the game. A number of Phillies coaches and radio/TV announcers are alumni and they also participated in the alumni activities. This is always fun and it is great to see some of the "old timers". Its funny how they are all getting older and we just seem to be staying the same.
It was a good game. One of the Phillies projected starting pitchers pitched five strong innings, not allowing any hits or runs . The Phillies had scored 4 runs and were ahead when Phillies relief pitchers allowed 4 runs and the Astros tied the score. The Phillies then scored another run and held on to win a close game 5-4.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is for stronger winds and colder temperatures. The projected temperature is 64 degrees with a 15-20 mph wind chill and is being described as "winter weather" by the local TV weather guy. The pressure gradient doesn't last long this time of year however, and we will back into the 80's by Wednesday.
After the game, we returned to the RV, had an early dinner and relaxed awhile before planning to go to bed early (probably about the same time many of the Phillies alumni retire for the evening).
No baseball tomorrow. We are going into Tampa and visit the Tampa History Museum.
